Has anyone made SatPC32 work with EA4TX's new ARS-USB controller? If so,
how?

Its photovoltaic arrays have been deployed and it's now on its way to the ISS.

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 about one flash per 3
seconds. One object would be the booster,
don't know what the other 2 would be.
Everything passed about 3 degrees north
of Altair at 0927UTC.
Good luck Dragon.

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 the LVB Tracker, please contact me direct at:
k4feg@xxxxx.xxx
Thanks Everyone!

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 objects 38348 -
38351. No id's on anything yet.

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. :-)

It was good to meet many who have been on the air in the past couple of
years, since my last trip to Dayton. I was a on a plane to Australia during
the start of the 2011 Hamvention. I had no interruptions from my office
during this trip, which was much better than in 2010 when I missed the
banquet due to an issue that kept me on the phone with the office for
almost 4 hours!

Keith and Roger were very happy to put others on the mic at the demo
station. Along with the passes I worked Friday afternoon, I also worked
some passes Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. I heard and
saw Doug KD8CAO on the mic Saturday morning, and I worked Doug
on a VO-52 pass when I was on the Indiana/Ohio state line Saturday
morning. If nobody else was around to move the antenna array, Keith
or Roger would happily do that.
I was told of a ham from southern Indiana (Ken KC9TTR) who visited the
Hamvention over the weekend. Ken took interest in the AMSAT booths,
saw demonstrations, and decided to give this a try. He bought an Arrow
antenna, took it home, and on Sunday he tried SO-50. On one pass
at the end of the Hamvention, the crowd (including a couple of people
who know him) heard his call come through. Later in the afternoon, he
worked me while I was parked on the Indiana/Ohio state line after
the Hamvention. He e-mailed me, saying that I was his first satellite
contact, and asking how he needed to log the contact in LOTW so he
would see the confirmation for both states. Not long after I replied
to him and uploaded my QSOs from Sunday, he saw the confirmations
in his LOTW account, and two states via satellite toward WAS.
AMSAT does a great job with its presence at the Hamventions, with the
booth located next to the larger ARRL presence and the demonstration
area outside. The Hamvention does a great job of supporting AMSAT.
They provide a fenced area for the demos, and give a contribution to
AMSAT at each of the last few Hamventions (including this year).
73!
