"Could use the new box and hang the start condenser out board or build and outboard set of switches"
Have you considered building one with an Arduino?
Pretty straight forward actually, made one for a Cornell Dublier Rotator, interfaces to SatPC32 etc., for totally slick automation.

Thanks to all for putting me on the right track. However step one was to EXTRACT ALL from the downloaded zip file. Then go to the set up program. Every time I start the program a get a box ?OLE-feitler 8004503a,classID?A5584957-EF07-419c???.. But it seems to be running ok. Changing computers can be a challenge. 5400 control box developed 2 bad switches, no replacement available from Yeasu. Considered new control box, no longer available! Could use the new box and hang the start condenser out board or build and outboard set of switches. Then I stopped at the Green Heron booth at Xenia. Only that controller will not work with Windows XP, my last computer with RS232 built in. So trying to get things up and running on a Windows 7 machine. Also replacing the old KLM crossed yagis.

Hi,
The 1st FREE OF COST International Balloon ?Satellite? Launch CHALLENGE
is open across the Globe for participants below 21 years of age.
Leveraging the power of technology, the State of Rajasthan in India has
become the ?Digitalization Hub of India?. In the upcoming three-day
technology carnival by the Government of Rajasthan- ?Rajasthan Digifest
2018?, held at Jaipur (known as the Pink city of the world) there will
be a plethora of opportunities for everyone. From insightful workshops
to varied exciting events, the fest would have a lot to offer.
Taking a step further, Government of Rajasthan in collaboration with
Space Kidz India, is organizing an ?International Balloon Challenge? on
the 25th & 26th July 2018. This challenge has been initiated to mark a
tribute towards our former President and reputed Scientist Dr. APJ Abdul
Kalam.
Set with the motto- ?Dream. Imagine. Believe?, it is an open competition
for everyone aged below 21 years. The participant will have the
opportunity to fly their payload ?near space? in a balloon FREE OF COST.
Following are some notable points in respect to the challenge:
? The payload must fit inside a 1U Cube3 and the weight should be 500
grams including the battery.
? No hazardous chemicals are allowed.
? Biological experiments containing living micro-organisms shall not be
allowed.
? Only Original Ideas will be entertained.
? Any findings of plagiarisms can get the participant eliminated and
permanently banned from participating in the future.
? If approved by Space Kids India you can also come directly to the
venue and fly your payload.
? Accommodation and food facility for teams coming directly will be
provided for two days.
Payload should reach our Chennai Office (Add. given below) on or before
the 18th of July 2018.
Space Kidz India,
No.1-B, Nutech Narayana Apartments,

T.Nagar, Chennai 600 017, India
Space Kidz India and Government of Rajasthan invites students for this
exciting and adventurous ?International Balloon Challenge? to be held on
25th & 26th July 2018. The competition not only looks inspiring &
challenging, but will help the participants to meet like-minded people
from different nook and corner of the world uniting together with a
strong competitive edge.
It?s time to help our younger generation to showcase their skills and
let their dreams fly high!

Hi Alan,
Other shoe, please? What happened to the world's prediction software
(if, indeed, we even had any back then) when it rolled over? What is
expected this time?
We survived Y2K, but did we learn anything from it?

Greg,
Fortunately this is not a TEOTWAWKI Y2K issue. Unlike most of the other
numbers in the Keps, the orbit count has nothing to do with predicting the
orbit, and can be completely ignored. Some programs do that. Others
compute backwards and forwards from the reference epoch and orbit number in
the Keps they are using. I am most familiar with SatPC32, and when working
on prelaunch Keps recently, I found that if you ran it backwards in time
before the launch, it will happily show negative numbers. ;)
The problem is that when the specification for the Keps we use was created,
it only allowed 5 digits for the orbit count. That seemed enough, and comes
from Space Track that way. So like an odometer it just rolls over. In
principle, software could look for that, and automatically compensate.
I can't speak for all the software out there, but in most cases they will
just roll over and keep on tracking.
73,
Alan
WA4SCA

Hi all,
Nice idea to celebrate AO-7 200th orbit anniversary, our beloved
grandfather bird merits it.
Looks that 200k orbit will happen around August the 1st see:
http://amsat.org.ar/ao7-200k.gif .
http://amsat.org.ar/pass?satx=ao-7 account for orbits above 100k.
We hams should be thankful to have AO-7 alive, duly recognizing those
that made it possible .

Hi everyone has anybody had any experience or knowledge of this companies
SATPACK1 consisting of a double loop for 2 and another for 70 on a boom, I
could get this array up to about 45 feet if that helps, it seems a bit
pricey but if it works it works. As you can tell I am a newbie and would be
grateful for any advice.
Regards
Roger

When our club conducted a ARISS contact for a local middle school we had a problem with the main station on the yagi at the very last instant. We switched to the secondary station with the M2 eggbeater and we made the contact with no problem. Of course we had to use a defibrillator to get my heart started again during those crucial switchover seconds that seemed like an eternity!
