Subject: Hamcom22 program problem
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
Hamcom20 and Hamcom22 (which were downloaded from a bulletin board) don't
seem to recognize data at the com port. The op-amp interface used works
ok with Hffax and is the same as the one described in the txt file for
Hamcom. There is no signal on the tuning scope display. No port designation
or definition in the config file seems to help.
Does anyone have a working Hamcom program? I would like to be able to use
this to copy the RTTY from AO-13 rfor the schedule information.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Ken K5MBV 214-997-3434

To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
I had similar problems->to avoid them i installed four diodes instead
of two, and some electrolytic capacitors...hamcomm needs a bridge
rectifier, but for example jvfax doesnt, polarity doesnt change when
running the program...i think there is version 3.0 hamcomm available
today on ftp.funet.fi

Packet Metabeacons from Shuttle
Greenbelt, MD July 21, 1994 at 12:30 UTC
The following is a compilation of some of the packet radio metabeacons copied
from the crew on the Space Shuttle Columbia. These were provided by Gil
Carman, WA5NOM, and Andy MacAllister, WA5ZIB. The SAREX working group would
like to extend its thanks all of you who have provided us feedback and downlink
updates of the packet system during the STS-65 mission.

Greetings from the SAREX station aboard the space shuttle Columbia.
The crew of Columbia is privileged and honored on this 25th anniversary
of one of humankind's greatest achievements to follow in the footsteps
of our craft's namesake, the command module Columbia, which carried
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the moon. We wish all of
you back on earth who are celebrating this historic anniversary our best
wishes and hope that the one small step for a man taken 25 years ago, will
be a giant leap for people of vision as we go on to International Space Station
and beyond.

Ok I'll try this again.
Yes there is a version of the broadcast protocal for the Mac, funnily enough
it's called "Broadcast." I have version 2 and it was written by IW2CTJ.
Ther are also several very good sat predication programmes for the Mac.
Personally I use OrbiTrack.
Hope this helps.
Sean.

A Washington, DC local, Gilbert Macklin (not a ham, but a satellite
enthusiast, nonetheless) wrote a PB implementation for the Mac. He left
the area for New Mexico, but was planning to continue the work. HE was
working with Jim White, WD0E, so you might want to contact Jim for the
latest news (he can be reached at wd0e@amsat.org).
