Unbeknown to me, my computer was compromised with a Trojan.
I have now run a complete scan for viruses and Trojans. The computer is now

I apologise for any inconvenience caused - even though it really isn't my

Once again, I note the whinging about HO-68's orbit not being suitable for a
particular station ... or two.
I'd like to remind the gentlemen concerned that HO-68's on time is NOT designed
to favour one particular area. Please remember, it's a Chinese satellite and we
should abide by and
Sir,
Herewith, an explanation of the term whinging ...
Some dictionaries give the definition of whinging as complaining while others
derine it as complaining
in a continual whining manner ... the keyword being 'continual'.
The colloquial 'Manchester' definition of whinging is a
Hello Dom,
You are of course right.
I have been in contact with Alan Kung regarding various aspects of HO-68 but as
you correctly state,
The Chinese don't seen to want to share the workload.
I went as far as offering donations to help Amsat China but was politely

To whom it may concern,
A lot of the experienced satellite
operarors will recall Jan King

isn't a better
authority on the grand old Lady.

INFORMATION FOR IOTA HUNTERS.
Normally, in a satellite exchange, I only give my locator (JP33WB) - but my QTH
is in fact
FREI ISLAND, IOTA EU 36, located at 63.02 degrees North and 7.48 degrees East.
It's just too long winded giving the entire QTH designation on CW so for the

My personal best on an LEO is Norway to Japan - (FO-20 in 1997).
Depending whether you classsify AO-7 as a LEO bird - (with an orbital height of
1400Km) - the current record there
is 7500 - 7700Km, by several stations.
You may have been only interested in FM satellites, to9

I did get that bit.

The Amsat-NA satellite status page reports FO-29 as being A-OK.
It's the 6th day of silence now - (the D.Carr page status is correct).
