Duly noted. :D

Where are you at? Sounds like the Atlanta area.
I intend on being much more active in this echo. I've given all of my other echoes to others save for here, CLASSIC_COMPUTER, and MUFFIN/TUB (Maximus BBS/Squish mail tosser suypport echoes; both of which I use).
I have been very busy on the air lately, especially working digital
modes like Feld Hell, FSK Hell 105, Olivia, and PSK31.
I do work a lot of SSB stuff though. :)

I wanted the time, not how to buikd a clock. ;-)
I use the iOS app Sky Guide. It knows where I am and gives me a 15
minute heads up...
mark lewis wrote to Sean Dennis <=-
at this time, i have to find it, though... not sure were it
has gotten off to... it is a heathkit receiver that we
built... but gotta find it first... otherwise only the
stuff that streams on the 'net is available...

heaven's above may have an iOS app... i forget... either way, it (and several others) are strictly satellite tracking sites... there are, of course, local apps that can be run, too... especially for HAM operators working satellites... gpredict is one or those that is ok... it is
going through some updates related to radio control... it can/will turn your antenna and switch freqs on your radio when working a satellite...
i used to use the old STSPlus for ground tracks and listing sats with upcoming view chances... currently i'm using gpredict on linux in place
of STSPlus but it just isn't the same...
they're good but i also want one that shows the sky view from my
location with the sat's path so i will know exactly which sat i'm
seeing flying over... in that end, i'm using stellarium which is an astronomy program first... but my current setup for all of these is nothing like what i had on my OS/2 system before Hurricane Florence
blew through here and mucked things up :|

O:)
no... i had plans to get my license waaaay back in the '70s but couldn't get morse down well enough... discovered (very) loud music, computers, and rocketry instead... i know that things have been relaxed since then but these days i (still) just listen to the bands when i decide to fire up the radio... at this time, i have to find it, though... not sure were it has gotten off to... it is a heathkit receiver that we built... but gotta find it first... otherwise only the stuff that streams on the 'net is available...

Thanks for letting me know. I'll contact Rob.

Rob is trying to address it. Looks like a Dove node has a config error and Rob has shut off their posting abilities until they confirm that
the issue is fixed. There has been a small discussion in the Dove HAM echo.
Hi Ed,
I changed my call to KS4TD in July 2020. I live in 4 land now and STD are
my initials (yes, really).
I haven't been on the ir since 2019 when lightning hit my shack.
The good thing is a friend is selling me a Kenwood TS-440S for $50. I have
a Ten-Tac antenna so I souold be ragchewing soon. Need to buy some more QSL cards.

Evidently it was a misconfigured Mystic system that was doing it. I wasn't aware that Mystic had QWK networking. Thanks to Rob to looking quickly into it.
If someone asked me if they could gate HAM to DOVE-Net properly, I'd most likely say yes. It's not that I'm against gating, as you know being my Micronet gate, but I just want to know about the gating.
Ed Vance wrote to Sean Dennis <=-
Not familiar with the TS-440.
Wonder if TS-520S are sold for that low of a price now a days?
Don't need 11Meters.

i don't agree. the periodic rules posts mysteriously weren't gated
across. somebody knew what was up and pretended they didn't after the fact.
yeah i certainly wouldn't mind it either if i knew it was reliable. i'd just unsub the dovenet ham one because i see the posts near instant
with binkp+fidonet..
