Greetings,
Well, how would we feel if USSTRATCOM started
charging for the use of their data that we use to
track our satellites?
Also, using your amateur station for monetrary
gain, even if it is for a not for profit organization,
seems problematical.
Help if you want, don't if you don't.
Simple enough.

To show you how uncertain this whole thing is---this morning I went to
Space-Track and got a set of keps for these birds. Most were dated with
"day 304".
Just now, I went for another "fresh" set--they had gone back to "day 303"
and when compared to the previous set from early this morning, and all the
AOS times are about 2-3 minutes different!
Heh.

Using Object C, E, and F, I did hear RAX-2 this morning but could not
copy the data. Since I do not have an external TNC, I used the TS-2000
internal TNC.
For those who have the TS-2000, I set Menu 46=Main; Menu 47=9600 bps;
Menu 48=TNC Band; and Menu 55=On. I then used HyperTerm to connect to
the TNC and did a RESET. I turned Kiss=On, Mon=On, MCON=On, and
MCOM=On. I disconnected from Hyperterm and ran RAX_Serial_to_TCP.bat; I
then ran RAX_GS_Client.bat. The Summary Panel is being displayed and I
received not errors from either BAT file. I have the Mode set to FM on
437.345 MHz. I had to manually tune (from 5 KHz above to 5 KHz below
the center frequency during the pass) since the TNC is using the COM
port negating any CAT control. As I said before, I am seeing a very
strong signal on my S-meter about every 20 secs. Since 9.6K sound much
like noise, I can not really distinguish the data from the noise.
Anyone have a suggestions as to why I am not displaying data?
