Hi, from the sound of that your file /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/get-NWSdata dose not exist. you can try ls /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts to see if the directory and scripts are there. is so is they set with the execute bit ? ls -la /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts will tell you. if it exist but are not execute bit present try sh /usr/share/xastir/scripts/get-NWSdata or sudo sh /usr/share/xastir/scripts/get-NWSdata to run it as super user on system using sudo. if still no luck, check if the files lay in /usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/ 73 happyexi On 11/26/12 18:00, xastir-requ...@lists.xastir.org wrote: Send Xastir mailing list submissions to xastir@lists.xastir.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to xastir-requ...@lists.xastir.org You can reach the person managing the list at xastir-ow...@lists.xastir.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Xastir digest...

I was more focused on tracking than on debugging and didn't have the incoming traffic window open. But I'll bet the ISS history will show something. One station that really jumped was N7FWZ-1. Another was K7OFT-14 and two others were w7aka-5 and -6. On 11/26/2012 11:42 AM, Bill Vodall wrote: Who were the offending stations? Usually they're fairly easy to track down.
