An updated version (2893) was released a few days ago, and now does LoTW upload
and download.
There has also been an awards function for some time now, which can be tailored
for just about any award you'd like, including, but not limited to grids.

the HRD logger program can be used to automatically update eQSL, QRZ,
hrdlog.net. And if you download HRD utilities, uploads to LoTW are a lot
easier and will update your log as to who has returned a QSL through eQSL or
LoTW. The HRD utilities can be downloaded at http://wd5eae.org/Software.h
All I has wifi connection issues and was going to post my passes for today.
Well in the mean time a weather front has come in and there is very rain
happening now as well as an AO51 pass in a few minutes.
Will have to play things by ear to see if things clear up.
If they do I will try:

Hi Dom,
I was pondering the temp reduction for the tip after we had our
discussion the other day...
The current is fully off for half of the cycle and reduced by some
percentage on the other half, but I can't remember the procedure to
determine itThe figure .7 sticks in my mind...

on my trip back to Cleveland from Melbourne, Florida.
I operated while in motion on SO-67, AO-27 and AO-51.
Equipment was the Kenwood V7A and a Larsen dual band

SO-67 has a dynamite signal and it was easy t

Hi:
Since posting a query and no reponse, I've decided to do a Special Event for
the 50 years of the First Man in Space and 30 years of the first Space Shuttle
Launch. It will be on HF and locally on 2 meters. It has been posted on QRZ.com.
Also if you know of any other activation, let me kno
Hi Matthias, DD1US
I know that the negative effect of the added losses in front of a
preamplifier and thus reduced sensitivity is also a function of the noise
level due to the Antenna Temperature.
In a terrestrial system for 70 cm the antenna at zero degrees elevation
sees at best a Noise Tempera
Ed,
The program is installed with newer versions automatically. I am not
certain where the dividing line for "newer" is, however. It might be time
to update to the latest version.

I don't currently use SatPC32 for the Moon (having both MoonSked and
NOVA), but I did not find a folder named SuM in SatPC32. For Moon

have the Unitrac-2000 that runs with NOVA. But my B5400 is broke at

Hi Kevin,
I use the HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) logbook, and it does everything and beyond.
Once you enter a call, it automatically inputs the station's grid, name and
any other info that you tell it to (it pulls it from QRZ and a few other
places - just make sure the grid matches up with what they

Works perfectly here. One of the settings, I think "delay", is twitchy. Read
the help file for details, Erich covers it all in there.

Is anyone using the Icom IC-910H with SatPC32? Any pros or cons? Will it
give VFO feed back to the software?

Hi Zack and Domenico,

of the preamplifier and thus reduced sensitivity of your system is also a
function of the noise level: in terrestrial systems where your antenna

I will be active in a holiday-style DXpedition on the FM satellites from
