I do believe that so far MonMotha wins for the coolest desktop.

And just so I can be cute, this is my actual desktop

Well, my objective is to go outside some time and try to talk via one of them (remember, I'm an amateur radio operator). Currently, Echo (AO-51), which is the big FM repeater (so I can work it with my handheld) is in packet mode, though it will be in FM repeater mode tomorrow, but downlinking on 2.4GHz, which I don't have a receiver for. On the 17th, they'll put it in V/U mode, where it uplinks on 144MHz and downlinks on 440MHz, and that I can use.sam wrote:motha why are you tracking satellites?
I could go up to the club station and work the non-FM satellites since I can do sideband up there, but my antennas are quite non-optimal as they're made for terrestrial work (not that the rubber duck on my handheld is much better).
Too bad AO-40 is completely dead (it seems that you're supposed to remove those tags that say "Remove before flight" before putting the thing into space). There was a TON of bandspace on it, though it mostly downlinked on 2.4GHz (I can do 1.2, but not 2.4).
Yes, there are people who launch satellites as a hobby. AMSAT has the info.
A normality test:

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

I am slowly painfully learning it, at this point I can use it for simple short notations in job descriptions or whatever, to make the point this message was typed using it, but I shifted back to QWERTY for a recent, longer message (it's a link HINT HINT).
Ahh...Track-It...such a wonderful program ...NOT!!! I had forgotten what it was like, but now after seeing the picture, is brings back memories. I wonder if they'll ever get a better program.......Gatekeeper wrote:Link to my werk desktop (Warning: 3840x1024, tri monitor, lossless png compression, 1mb)
