[amsat-bb] Re: How to correctly log multiple grids?
If you don't separate them the electronic uploads (ie. EQSL and LoTW) think they are duplicates and will not allow upload. At least that is what I have experienced since asking the question.

Dave: Why do they need to be separated by 1 minute in the time field? When I'm operating in the 10 GHz and Up Cumulative Contest (for example), I can often make anywhere between 3 and 6 valid 2-way contacts in 60 seconds, and they all get logged at the actual time that they occurred (per my radio-controlled atomic watch (synchronized to WWVB every early morning, so it is always accurate to 1 second or less)).

[amsat-bb] Uni_trac 2000 question?
Thanks to many helpful suggestions and support from the AMSat-BB list I was able to get the Uni_Trac 2000 working with Nova DDE and with Yaesu g-5500 and FT-847.Thank-you. I have one problem remaining. My uni_trac window for some reason is always lagging behind the tracking that Nova is doing. I thought Nova would control the tracking, but it appears it simply passes the satellite object name to Uni_trac and Uni_Trac does its own calculations on the KEPs. I made certain they are using the same nasa KEPs file for both Nova and Uni_Trac. They have the same GPS coordinates entered and I have the same height above sea level in them both (although on in feet and on in meters). Does anyone have any thoughts? It seems that Uni_Trac is lagging or it is calculating the KEP differently. If there is a better listserv I should post this too, please advise.

[amsat-bb] Uni_trac 2000 sat files
Can anyone who is running a Uni_Trac 2000 or 2003 zip me up your .sat files and send them to me by chance? My directory seems to be missing these and I can¹t get it to create even one for an example. I¹m working on it, but the easy solution would be if someone can send me the files they use. Thanks! Mike kb8zgl ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
