I was on the 2236utc 15Jan SO50 pass from Captiva Island
in EL86. Stations worked were: W5PFG, N8RO, KE4KOL, KB2M,
KD8QBA and WA2EFU. Called KK4HEQ but no response. If you
need a card, please send me an email.
Hope to be on again Wednesday and Thursday.

Hello!
It was a successful Sat presentation!
Thanks to everyone who called me and said hello to the group. There were
good crowds for the presentation and demo. Seven stations were worked on the
1605z FO-29 pass and while the stations were reporting their grid square,
two students and an English teacher were locating it on DX Atlas` map.
We looked for HO-68 `s beacon running a FunCube Dongle. Physic teachers
loved to see the Doppler shift on the waterfall!
Thanks again for your support!
73!
Hector, CO6CBF

Asunto: [amsat-bb] Sat presentation at the University of Cienfuegos
Hello all!
Tomorrow 15 /01, the University of my city will be celebrating "the
sciences` day" and I have been invited to talk about ham radio during the
season. I will focus my presentation in ham radio by satellites and I hope
to be on the 1605z FO-29 pass for a demonstration.
Please, if you hear me, give me a shout with your name, city, state etc. I
will be operating portable running half duplex and CAT controlled.
Thanks in advance!
73!
Hector, CO6CBF

Hi,
We will do our best but we cannot target every platform specifically.
I already build for four google devices. Nexus 1,S,7 & 10.
The kindle fire and Barnes and Noble devices have to be side loaded and we
would have to set up a download site and PayPal payment mechanism for the
paid version.

Since us Kindle users can not directly access the Google Play site, please
consider making the apps available to us Kindle Fire and Fire HD users. I
like the functionality and am looking forward to the new features.****

One of the most interesting and perhaps frustrating thing about the Android
platform is this "my store", "your store", "no store" interplay between all
the
vendors who have created devices using the "open source" Android platform from
Google. With Google producing devices as well, their ownership of the "Google
Play" store, and demand for "paid entry" into that marketplace, their
competitors, Amazon and B&N etc., are reluctant to "play together".
So, developers are strung out, being forced to participate in multiple
economies, which doesn't scale very well for small operations like you'll find
in HAM radio software teams. Walmart had a $99 or so deal on a Chinese tablet
over Christmas. That tablet had "no store" available to the purchasers to
start
with. The only choice was to install the Amazon store and be locked into that
economy. There is, always the opportunity to root these devices and spend the
time and energy to manage the whole thing yourself. But, without a "Store"
application, you're limited to what you can get, based on what developers are
willing to "give away."
In this day and age, I think we are past the time of "free software". I think
it is important to understand how that diminishes the worth of people doing
good
things for HAM radio, to have such expectations.
Certainly, many people have limited incomes, so I understand that to be
natural
pressure on the scale of the software economy in HAM radio, overall.
In the end, open source is a great thing, when people have time to give
away, or
are using the same software to make money elsewhere. But, all of these
vertical
market applications for HAM radio have some very focused uses, and not very
many
of them are gold mines in the public markets.
