Why virtualise?
Use a dual core processor and run a different operating system on each core.

You guys are way ahead of me. I'll settle for reality!
I live in a high-rise Manhattan building and must do my satellite operation
by carrying all the needed equipment out to the promenade behind the
building next to the East River (2 miles due north of the UN building).
I'm looking for a way to lighten the load, and the netbook looks promising.
N3TL even reports that the Yaesu CAT to USB cables he bought worked without
installing new drivers. That's big because I don't know how to "map"
another computer's CD drive into a netbook to read any new drivers!
Tnx for the ideas.
73,
Tony

Tony,
I too live in an apartment on the eight's floor in Chicago. I too have to
drag everything to the Lakefront to operate. Our roof was closed for last 14
months for Tuckpointing, so no satellite operations from there this year.
The Acer Aspire One which I also use works great. Most USB to Serial
adapters come with a small driver disk. You can always load it to a
thumbdrive and load it that way to your netbook. Another option is to find
the drivers on the internet and then just download them directly to the
netbook. I have used USB-Serial cables with the Prolific chipset and drivers
are easy to find on their website.
I found my Aspire One as a refurbished unit on TigerDirect.com about 9
months ago for under $199 during a special. It works great with SatPC. Tim
and I both have good luck with that netbook.
Just get one and have fun with it!
73,
Adrian

I believe DO-64 should be added to this list as a 'yes'.
I don't believe SO-67 'needs' to be illuminated. Rather, currently the
bird is scheduled so that it is 'on' during sunlight.

Hi Tony, N2UN
I remenber our succesfull SSB QSO via FO-29 from the promenade
behind the East River up to the bay of Naples on april 15, 2007
Our QSO from NYC (FN30) and JN70ES was 7052.5 km
Tank you for sending the photograph of the Hell Gate Bridge along
with your portable pedestal + antennas and tranceivers
>From your picture I realize that you where full loaded with the antennas
in your hands and the equipments into your bag
I hope to make another try when FO-29 will be reactivated in 2010
.....................Well done Tony look for a way to lighten the load !
