And just a minor correction. Dick Richards's call sign is KB5SIW, and if Susan was using the radio then he was the control operator with her using his call. I heard Dick, Jerry and Blaine at various times during the mission in voice, but I don't think they heard me. I did make it quite clear to Dick Richards that I wanted him to hear my call sign from orbit before they landed. Maybe that's why they diverted their landing to 3000 miles away from me? ;) Philip Chien KC4YER no sig yet In Article <35ohc8$a78@apple.com> winter@apple.com (Patty Winter) writes: >In article <354fkd$kmr@chnews.intel.com>, >Thomas A.

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Are there any ham-balloon folks on the net? If so, do you have upcoming launches scheduled? Is there a central registry for this kind of information? Thank you. PS-The October 94 QST has a remarkable photo (page 102) of a balloon bursting at high altitude. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _ Miles Abernathy, N5KOB = I have a spelling checker. | |__ miles@mail.utexas.edu = It came with my PC. _| | POB 7580, Austin TX 78713 = It plane lee Marx four my review \ * / University of Texas @ Austin = Miss steaks aye kin knot sea. \/ tel.

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu I was just wondering if there is a sat tracking program for the Amiga computer? I have the A4000 and A2000. Mainl, I will be tracking the SATs with the A2000. Any info would help.
