[amsat-bb] Re: G-5500 Orientation

For relatively recent status and frequencies, take a look at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php . I'm not familiar with the Unitrac interface, but I am familiar enough with Nova to strongly recommend you avoid it in favor of SatPC32 (

We have to create a Hardest Workin' AMSAT Member award, and give the first one to Patrick. When I perform my demos, he's ALWAYS out there. When he slides into his car, he is ALWAYS stopping alongside a highway to work a satellite. (Did you see the video he posted yesterday? He is LITERALLY

[amsat-bb] SO-67 sounds fuzzy?

Got my first QSO on this very strong SAT. Signal is at least 3 S units more here than than the average pass of other birds. Very excited about working it. But the audio on it did sound very fuzzy to me. Not the usual crisp clear FM I hear on AO-27, SO-50, and AO-51 when tuned in to center. I

[amsat-bb] LVB Tracker problem

Hi all, Lately my LVB Tracker (USB) has been stopping in the middle of a pass. It does not happen all the time, but lately it has been happening more often. When this happens I have to turn the G-5500 off/on then restart SatPC32. Has anyone experienced this with their tracker? I wonder if I
