[amsat-bb] Re: n3fjp logging + eqso + ADIF format - please help
Are you talking about EQSL? I'm not familiar with EQso. 73 Jeff WB2SYK --Original Message-- From: Michae J. Wolthuis Sender: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] n3fjp logging + eqso + ADIF format - please help Sent: Feb 7, 2010 20:19 I really like n3fjp logging that everyone here recommended. I have not been able to get eqso to upload though. It keeps telling me bad mode. Can anyone who is using this software and eqso tell me what are you entering for your AO-51 contacts in Band and Mode? I tried 2, 2M and SAT J in Band and tried SAT, FM and FM (SAT) in Mode to no avail. Maybe I need to enable a field or something? I have read the whole manual from the website and it doesn't really talk about entering satellite contacts. Thanks for any help, I really want to get my whole log uploaded to eqso.

[amsat-bb] Re: XW-1 FM
I haven't been able to get into the sat either in FM or linear. And I work AO-7 and VO-52 regularly as well as the FM birds. Frustrating so far but I will keep at it. 73 Jeff WB2SYK Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: George Henry ka3...@att.net Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2009 12:59:28 To: apbid...@mailaps.org; 'WCP'w...@mchsi.com; amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: XW-1 FM I think that the whole problem is the sheer number of stations trying to get into the bird at the same time... destructive interference occurs between all the differently-phased PL tones, and NO ONE gets in most of the time. I would love to see how much easier it would be to use with the tone turned off. Either that, or leave it in linear mode all the time. George, KA3HSW - Original Message - From: Alan P.

Some people seem to get in effortlessly, others seldom if at all. I fall into the seldom category, though I had better luck today. Someone suggested that perhaps my dilithium crystals needed realignment, so I pulled out my calibrated deviation meter, and verified the PL is set as recommended for the FT-847 at 700 Hz. Next, I pulled out my counter with GPS time base, and measured 66.961 Hz for the tone. I am pretty certain that an accuracy of .06% should be good enough. ;) I am wondering if it wants significantly more or less PL audio level. It shouldn't be too hard to rig up an external injection when the operation is more frequent. You have got to love satellite ops. Always something interesting to consider!

I'm not sure about SatPC32 but with orbitron if I remember correctly it may mean that the satellite is going into eclipse? Jeff WB2SYK --Original Message-- From: Alan P.

For instance, against a white background such as the polar regions, it is red. Perhaps elsewhere, though I did not look. Is that what you are seeing?

All I have seen from on the BBS from this guy is after the fact and I can tell you how to do it and no where does he even attempt to help. He is the greatest Monday Morning quarterback. He is a troll and unfortunately we do fall for his tactics. If, in fact, he is a -- test pilot-- thank God I live in California and not Texas or any where near his flight path! Which makes me want to know what aircraft he tests so that I can stay clear of them. I hope not to fall for the loud mouth troll that knows everything and wants to tell all that he does. He knows that if he ever tries to do what he tells others to do he will fail. And come to think of it, most of us know that he is talk and no action too.
