Hi,
A text file which contains ALL the Fitter Messages that have been
captured by groundstations can be downloaded using the link on the
Fitter Messages page on the FUNcube Warehouse at:
http://warehouse.funcube.org.uk/fitter.html

The process to generate this file is executed once per day at midnight UTC.
The live page will show that Fitter Messages captured during the past 7

Hi everyone,
Having been away from the hobby for quite a while I am trying to get to
grips with the computer based logging packages.
I have an eQSL account and have set up Ham Radio Deluxe to automatically
upload my contacts as they are made.
However, I cannot find a way of putting a satellite contact in HRD which
will then be accepted by eQSL. I have a number
of QSO's being rejected as they "disagree" with the recipients log.
I'm not that bothered about awards, but I would like to have a seamless way
of sending the log files without having to
make numerous copies from one logging program to another.
I would like to keep using HRD if possible.
Anyone use HRD and eQSL for satellites successfully ?
If so, how do you do it??????

Kudosfor Mineo JE9PEL's mention in the February, 2014 issue of QST magazine.
His history of ham satellites' frequencies page - and Excel(tm) spreadsheet
version -
were cited: " ... outstanding list ... extensive ... never seen anything
quite like it ... "

I believe both the Ericson handhelds and the Kenwood D-700 and D-710 rigs
all run 5 watts output.
Antennas I think are whips but not sure if 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave
Signal strengths of the two ISS ham radio stations:

In HRD Logger you need to set the Satellite name and Propagation mode to
satellite and both LoTW and eQSL will recognize QSO as Satellite .

Is there anyway to auto-start the data capture? I'm trying to fully automate
the telemetry capture and can start the dashboard when the satellite rises
and kill the process when it sets, but can't auto start "Capture from
FUNcube Dongle". Could this be added to a future release?
Tnx,

Hi Ken,
I don't have an answer, but I felt you might want to know that Dashboard
will run for weeks with no issues, or at least it has on my system. I've
seen the failed decode increment over 100,000, without issue.
I guess what I'm saying is I just let it run 24/7.

Thanks Drew,
I'm collecting telemetry from several satellites and using the FunCube+
dongle for other tasks, so felt I should start and stop the dashboard to
free up the dongle.

I have already seen the commercials of interest that will be broadcast
during some special sporting event that is occurring Sunday ... Who is going
to skip the "big game" and walk outside and work a satellite or two? Even
just to monitor one of our newer ones ... or to listen to the ISS' packet?

You could use a macro recorder to record and automatically set the
mouse movements and clicks necessary to start the capture. Windows
back in the days of 3.1 use to include one that was really cool, but
it doesn't anymore.
The best one I know if is Automator for Windows, but it's not free.
http://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/automator-for-windows/
Hopefully a future release of the Dashboard might be able to include
command line options to autostart capturing.
