It has been reported that concerns have been raised with Google about the
interference their 2400 MHz and 5800 MHz Project Loon balloons could cause,

I was fooling around today and tried to download the v1.25 version of
Satellite Lookdown (I had use the v1.0 before just fine). When I
unzipped the files and clicked on the .exe file all I get....now don't
laugh....is a sound of someone knocking!
I just can't find what I'm doing wrong. The author has no email address
that I can find, so I'm hoping someone here can provide some assistance.
Tnx & 73

BTW...I forgot to add this to the msg below. I am running W7/64/w Net4
installed. The v1.0 ran just fine, but unfortunately I cannot find that
older version now.
Many tnx

Dutch Amateur Radio Satellite User Meeting September 28th 2013
On September 28th, 2013 there will be an amateur radio meeting (in Dutch:
"Interessedag Amateursatellieten") held for everyone who is interested in
amateur radio satellites. It will be held in Paasloo, in the Northern part of
The Netherlands. We are very pleased to join this day with the annual VHF day
held by the Dutch amateur radio society VERON.
There will be a series of presentations concerning amateur radio satellites.
Amongst others, the following topics will be included: a portable radio setup,
the support radio amateurs provide give to the scientific community, beginners
sessions, and last but not least, the latest news about two new satellites
to be
launched soon: the FUNcube-1 and the Delfi-N3xT satellites (by their project
representatives)! Besides these presentations, it is of course a great
opportunity to meet other amateurs who are interested in satellites, and make
plans for future meetings!
While the main language will be Dutch (including the presentations), non-Dutch
guests are of course welcome to join as well. If you need assistance with
signing up, do not hesitate to ask either PA1IVO or PA3GUO (both callsign AT
amsat.org) for help.
The latest information about this event can be found on this webpage:

Only two Mountains remaining to be covered for this historic event.
Killington, Vermont and Clingman?s dome in the Great Smokies National
Park. On Saturday, 20 July, Just drive up to the parking lots, set up a
small mast to clear the cars with an Omni dual band vertical and play APRS
(and other) Radios for 4 hours starting at noon. Ideally you have a D700,
D710 or D72 APRS radio that can digipeate the special event packets.
To understand the entire event, getting a live APRS packet from
Georgia/Alabama to Maine/Canada see the main web page:
http://aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html
Sorry, Im having FTP problems so that page has not yet been fully updated
to 2013 participants but you can see them here:

We must have all 14 mountain tops manned to complete the DX link. Thanks,

We have an urgent need for Ham Packet Ops on mountain tops in New
Hampshire, Mount Greylock, MA, Sams Point, NY, Clingmans Dome in the Smokie
Mountains and Roan Mountain NC.
This is a 4 hour event making our annual attempt at the Golden Packet, an
APRS packet message from Maine to Georgia along the Appalachian Mountain
Chain on Saturday 20 July.
All you need is an APRS radio that can digipeat (D72, D700, D710) and a
power source and antenna. (and Know how to operate it!) All of these sites
are ?drive up? except Sam?s point in New York. The attempt is from noon
to 4 PM. Remember, Tim, KA1YBS has to begin in the dark to climb a full
MILE straight up to get to the top of Mt Katahdin in Main and then get back
down before sunset. Hence, the 4 hour window.
This is our 4th annual attempt and last year we were successful except for
only one broken link in NH. Will you be available to help make history?
The Golden Packet was proposed back in the early 80?s. It has never been
claimed since the rise of the Internet that has eclipsed all DX packet
attempts. We will do this every year even beyond success. It is a good
test of emergency long distance packet techniques.
If you can activate one of the above 5 sites, please see detail links on
this page for each site and learn all you can:
http://aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html
Think of this as Packet Radio FIELD DAY! These 14 sites have been well
surveyed and we know the links will work, if everyone can get in place and
KNOW how to operate their radio.
Other secondary sites are also invited on Stone Mountain, GA, Lookout
Mountain TN, and Huntsville Mountain
