Subject: Am I the only one having trouble to pick up MIR?
Hi,
Over the last two weeks, I tried to pick up the MIR beacon at 145.55MHz,
so far to no avail. At two times, I tried to actually see MIR during
visible passes but: nada!
I use the orbital elements from ARCHIVE.AFIT.AF.MIL which should be accurate.
So my question:
Anybody else having problems to pick up MIR?

Everybody else. Mir has had a power generation problem, so the Amateur
equipment was turned off. I have heard that there were rare exceptions during
Europe passes. I have also heard that by the time you read this, the problems
should be fixed and you should be able to get them.
I guess it's about time I tuned them in. U3MIR was my first contact as an
Amateur.
Have fun!!!

Subject: Upload and display problems with WISP
There is a control packet sent back from the spacecraft to the ground saying
that the file's checksums did NOT check. This could easily happen if
the data between your computer and your TNC gets corrupted. This happened
to me regularly until I replace the piece of crap cable talking 38400 bps
to my DSP2232 with a `real' RS-232 shielded ($35) cable.
