Thanks to the hard work by Eddie figuring out how SAT32PC works, and the really hard work by Eddie to jam enough of that information between my ears, I successfully made a few contacts via the RS-44 satellite
this afternoon.? Wow, FINALLY!
?
I managed one contact on July 3, but only through the exemplary skills and extraordinary patience of K0JM Mark in Minneapolis.? He stuck with me as I wandered around in frequency, at least long enough to complete
the QSO.? But it was rather embarrassing showing the world I still didn’t know how to do this properly.? Since then Eddie gave me more remedial instruction, and today was much more successful.?
?
If you need someone to teach you how to do this, Eddie is your man.? Patient, persistent, and will/can actually thoroughly RTFM.
?
I know I got it right today.? After some additional help from Eddie I managed to upload the QSOs to LOTW, and damned if all five weren’t already confirmed.? I guess satellite ops are pretty good at uploading
to LOTW.?
?
Eddie, thanks a million.? I don’t think I’m 100 percent there yet, so don’t throw away all your crib notes.? But it was a heck of an afternoon.?

Great progress, and a good accomplishment for any ham!
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for encouraging the rest of us to get on the Satellites. ?
Eddie, I’ve got you on speed dial and will be calling one of these days. I need a rig, and to to re-read your presentation first!

It was my pleasure Dave. You're too generous. Figuring it out for the both of us!?
Ham radio is about helping each other.?
Now I know how to use SatPC32 to work with the IC-9700 and the homebrew EasyComm mini satellite antenna controller too!
RS-44 is currently easiest, with up to15 minute passes, but once I would have leaned to CAS-4A/B, or XW-4... but I fear they are now weak and failing.
Oh by the way, RTFM ! ?
