Hello,
Falcon 9/Dragon was sighted from West Michigan.
It (they) were about 15 mins behind the ISS.
There were 4 objects total, 1 object in front was
of steady brightness approximately 1st magitude.
This was the Dragon I think.
The other three were tumbling shinning from
1 to 4 magitude at
I am looking for a good used LVB Tracker.
If anyone is downsizing their station and would like to get rid of a LVB
tracker, I am interested in a good, used, operational LVB Tracker, for
my antenna system.
If anyone has one for sale or any other type of rotor control that will
function like
Solar array covers?

Hi,
Could very well be solar panel covers.
At first I thought they were payload
fairings, but they were jettisoned long
before orbit was achieved.
There is also a cover for the navigation
suite/ berthing mechanism that gets
jettisoned.
Looks like SpaceTrak has the Dragon
launch catologed as
Zack,
After flying home yesterday, I'm able to sit down and get caught up on
e-mails and other stuff. The weekend was fun - both at the Hamvention,
and my travel around that part of the country before flying home. :-)
In addition to Patrick's email, I thought I would throw in my 2 cents of
I seem to have lost CAT control between the program and the radio. ( I had
to do a reset of the radio for another reason )
SatPC says it cannot find COM 3 (where cat control lives) Radio connects
fine with HRD and HRD's Sat program..but will not with SatPC
Is there a menu in the radio
I could not help but notice the difference between these folks and the
studied routine of NASA and USAF controllers. You can tell they are trying
hard to be blasé, but once it is in orbit and the solar panels are out, they
just can't keep from cheering. And well they should!!!

Probably a baud rate mismatch. I think that the radio defaults to 9600, so if
you had SatPC32 set up to use a different baud rate, that could be your issue.

Website says it's 100% Yaesu GS-232A compatible, so I would suggest selecting
the Yaesu_GS-232 option is SatPC32 Rotor setup and see how that flies. Be sure
to read follow Erich's tips under ?, Hints [Rotor], Yaesu_GS232.

Thanks to those that provided help. Problem solved with change in baud rate
in the program

Hi!
I recorded 3 videos of passes that were worked from the AMSAT
demonstration station at last weekend's 2012 Dayton Hamvention.
The videos are now available on my YouTube channel:

Two of the 3 videos were from VO-52 passes last Friday (18 May)
and Saturday (19
