In keeping up with technology and limiting duplication of work, AMSAT
Awards will now accept a scanned copy the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC)
CANADAWARD for satellites as proof of working the 13 valid Canadian
Provinces.
They are:
VE1/VA1 Nova Scotia
VE2/VA2 Quebec
VE3/VA3 Ontario
VE4/VA4 Manitoba
VE5/VA5 Saskatchewan
VE6/VA6 Alberta
VE7/VA7 British Columbia
VE8 Northwest Territories
VE9 New Brunswick
VO1/2 Newfoundland and Labrador
VY0 Nanavut
VY1 Yukon
VY2 Prince Edward
This will make it easier for everyone to submit either or both, ARRL
Worked All States / RAC CANADAWARD and not have to scan all those cards
and have me check them a second time.

Hi Mark,
I have not used hamlib in a long time since I now have others to test
rig interfaces in gpredict. When I used it few years ago on windows it
worked well with high COM-port values. I always used USB to serial
converters, which get high values.
I would suggest you try the hamlib mailing list since this is where
hamlib users and developers hang out:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hamlib-developer
When you start rigtcl, you can try to pass the option -vvvvvv which
will enable debug messages. This may reveal what is wrong.
Otherwise, I have to say that I am puzzled by the fact that some
people use Gpredict on windows to control radios. I didn't know it was
possible because the hamlib network daemon (which is required by
gpredict) is not available in the windows packages - at least I have
never seen it.

Onderwerp: [amsat-bb] Cannot start HRD Sattracker anymore
Who can help me with this?
All of the sudden I cannot start the Sattelite tracking within HRD anymore.
In order to fix this I tried a complete new install (v5.0), but that doesn't
help.
- HRD starts & works normally, but;
- when I start the Satellite tracker I get "Microsoft Visual C++
Runtime error"
ps: OS is Microsoft XP

Alex,
Thanks for the reply.
By golly, you are right about the program not being there. I never
made it that far, since I was trying to use just the direct connection
to the hardware first.
Well, shucks--we need to get Gpredict working on Windows hardware :)
I'll dig deeper on the high com port part before I give up...

Mark,
Gpredict should be blissfully unaware of the com port numbers. It talks to
hamlib via TCP/IP. The com ports should live only in the hamlib world.
Perhaps this weekend is time for a howto.
My guess is it reads as follows.
Install cygwin.
Download, compile, and install hamlib.
Test hamlib with you equipment.
Tell gpredict how to find hamlib.
Charles

All,
I would like to take this time to thank everyone for your patience with
the EM40
QSL cards. About 250 cards went out with and without SASE in the last 3 days.
If for any reason you do not receive a card for a contact with me, please
email
me ASAP the QSL information and I will make sure you get your cards ASAP.
Once again, thanks everyone for your patience.
