Some of you may have followed my trials and frustrations in trying to get
an old XP driven Dell computer to live again. This computer is at a
vacation house and I hated to spend money on a new computer. I run
eggbeaters and an ft847 there. Here are outcomes, good and bad so far.
1) installed Ubuntu and was confident this would be the solution and it
might still, however even the latest version of GPredict is buggy. I
suspect the real culprit is Hamlib.
2) I installed Wine in Ubuntu in hopes of getting SatPC32 to run. This
nearly worked but a few features didn't. For example I could not switch
between modes using SatPC32 and I'm not certain that the CAT frequency
adjust is working. Further investigation is required here.
3) I then discovered CrossOver which essentially is a commercial version
of Wine for the Mac. Since I never leave home without a Mac laptop I
decided to try a CrossOver demo. It took a while and some good "Elmer"
support using the terminal program to configure the comm port, but once I
solved that problem I found that the MacBook Pro running CrossOver will run
SatPC32 perfectly! CrossOver is reasonably priced for your Mac.
So that's where I ended up. I've not yet abandoned learning my way around
Linux as it's been a good learning experience and I really appreciate the
online support I received from fellow hams.

Do not forget to turn in your summary sheets in time so that your group can be
counted in AMSAT field day. The final date to turn them in is a lot sooner
than the
ARRL date. **** ARRL July 29 **** **** AMSAT July 14 ****
The Satellite Summary Sheet should be used for submission of the AMSAT
Field Day competition and be received by KK5DO (email or postal mail) by
11:59 P.M. Central Time, Monday, July 14, 2014.
Attach your stories of field day and some pictures. In the past we have
been able to use almost all the pictures sent.

Cool! Thanks for the hint about CrossOver!
I have not tried SatPC32 this way, but for many programs I have had very
good luck using virtual machines. In particular, I have used VirtualBox on
Ubuntu and find it to be pretty good. I also use Parallels on my Mac. Of
course on a slow machine virtual machines are not so effective, and you
still have to have a copy of Windows to install.

While it is not Satpc32, Orbitron runs well under wine on Ubuntu.

Hi all,
Pleased to report that I heard my own downlink on LO-78 over here in the UK
(Wales) - Tuesday 15th July
0800 hrs GMT.
The signal was quite strong but sadly no response to my CQ.
Thanks to the team, pleased to add yet another satellite to my list of
op's. but it would be nice to have
a confirmed contact before it sadly re-enters.
