In my previous message thanking the winner of the bid of the AMSAT
stamps, I thought it was Clint, K6LCS. He has advised me that he was not
the winner. I was incorrect. At this time, I do not know who the bidder
was.

Hi Clint,
As seen from the earth the time needed by the ISS to cross the disc of
the sun passing through it's center can be roughly calculated.
The ISS Mean Motion is 15.73972181 rev/day and so one orbit of
the ISS around the earth last 24 / 15.73972181 = 1.524804586 hours
or 91.48827517 minutes.
The orbit of the ISS has an eccentricity of 0.0009642 with perigee
hight = 340.7 km and apogee hight = 353.7 km so that the orbit of 360?
can be considered circular and then the time for the ISS to run 1 degree
of it's orbit in the sky is 91.48827517 / 360 = 0.2541340977 minutes.
As seen from the earth the sun's disc subtends an angle of about 0.5 degrees
so that the time needed by the ISS to cross the full sun's disc as seen from
the earth is 0.2541340977 x 0.5 = 0.1270670488 minutes or just 7.624
seconds.
This is why to search for the alignement earth--> ISS +Atlantis--> sun and
shoot a picture of their shadow against the sun is extremely difficult
particularly when the ISS is not crossing the sun passing through the center
as the picture shows.
http://tinyurl.com/34hrt2m
and in fact for this transit near the edge of the sun's disc the maximum
duration of visibility was only 0.54 seconds as seen from central Spain.
Succesfully the transit forecast was calculated with the software
www.calsky.com.
and solved the problem to french astro-photographer Thierry Legault
that make a similar observation of the ISS and Atlantis against the sun
on 29 september 2006 as you can see here:

Jeff,
I have SatPC32, G-5500 Yaesu AZ/EL rotors working together on 64-bit
Windows 7--but not via a USB interface. I am using a PCI board--2 Port
serial card to drive both Yaesu rotots and Icom IC910H and a driver
compatible with Win7. The board cost $20 and the driver $0.00. Far far
less than the USB to Serial box I purchased along the way.
All info on difficulties I had with my set up, including labors with
USB, were posted on this list within the past month or so. Contact me
via BB or Off-List for more details.
The bad news is either Vista or Windows 7 64-bit MUST have drivers which
were designed and coded for 64-bit operation. Even though numerous
listers and vendors suggested I use the 32-bit drivers with Win7... They
did not work for me, and based on what I read on other news groups, I
believe many many others have had the same problems with USB to Serial
interfaces and other kinds of USB gadgets in the 64-bit Windows o/s's.

Hello Jeff,
unfortunately I don't have an G6LVB Tracker. But as far as I know, the built
in
USB-to-Serial adapter doesn't work on 64-bit Windows systems.
Your friend could try an external USB-to-Serial adapter and steer the LVB
Tracker via the serial port. May be there are others but the only
USB-to-Serial adapter I know that works on 64-bit Vista and Windows 7 is the
Prolific single port USB-to_Serial adapter. For Vista 64-bit and Windows 7,
64-bit, you need the latest driver version. It can be downloaded here:

Hi all,
I am at present trying to configure 2 817s and SATPc32 with a Samsung N150
windows 7 32bit starter edition netbook and some CT62 equivalent interface
cables using the Prolific chipset.
I cannot claim that I yet have success but the one major lesson learnt last
night (late) was that you have to install all the software and drivers by
clicking on "run as administrator" -maybe obvious and already well written
up but I had missed it:)

Frank,
We were forwarded, via the AMSAT-BB, from Mineo the FO-29 telemetry that you
captured and anylyzed. As an observer and avid user of FO-29 I found it
very informative. If the solar array output continues to deteriorate
perhaps the control operators might consider a PL tone to open the
transmitter to conserve the battery when not in use, which is what they are
doing with AO-51. I agree with you Frank that FO-29 is a wonderful high
orbit LEO however I must disagree with your statement
"AMSAT seems only interested in FM single channel repeater type satellites
which are very boring to me."Amsat is just as interested as we are in
launching a HEO Satellite, it is the financing of such a project in this new
global economy that is holding the launch back, thank you.73's

Hello,
I been reading this group. for some reson I did not think we could post to
it. I would like to say hello. Ive always liked the birds. I have not made a
contract with a sat ywt. trying to read a bit before I try. Not sure what
one I should try first. IM not really sure what resources there are to use
there seems to be so many it kinda overwelming were to start. LOL Well just

Hey Jimmy, some of the easiest birds to try are AO-27, SO-50, AO-51, and
HO-68. All of them are popular birds with plenty of contacts. Only thing to
keep in mind is the schedules they run on. You want to make sure they're
turned on and what mode they're in when making a pass. A lot of that info
can be found on AMSAT.org and I've found YouTube to be a good resource for
teaching you how to make your first contact on the birds with just a dual
band yagi antenna and a HT or two. Best of luck working the birds!
