Amazing!!!
Loochshee adeen ras ooveedeet,
chem sto ras ooslishat.
I also saw it the other day, while I was monitoring the radio, I stuck my head out of the shed and saw it and it flared bright blue then dimmed a bit and continued. Wow ! I yelled for everyone from inside the house to come out to see it and we all stood there looking at it.
I think the Russian translates to something like-
It is better to see something for yourself once than to hear about it a hundred times.Cheers, Kevin VK3UKF

Tracking Program
I use J-Track which is web based. Once it loads, it runs till I shut down Netscape. You can see for yourself at:
http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/Amateur.htmlThey update it automatically so all you have to do is reload the page.

Tracking Program
I´m a WinOrbit 3.6 fan, I like the multiple windows, one for each sat, and if you like you can have several of your favourite birds on the one map, Easy on computers resources too, it can run with a program called announce which will call out in a voice the lat and lon of a selected sat. you can write your own software to interface with it through DDE if your a programmer.
Cheers Kevin -

Rig Blaster
Blast,
I think most modernish radios will handle the 1200 baud no worries, Audio circuits will be a bit slow in response to the faster bauds such as 4800 and 9600. I haven´t tested mine at anything else other than 1200 and it´s cables go straight into the soundcard, no opto coupler as is suggested for the PTT, no interface between the radio (DJ-V5 hand held) and souncard in the computer, I would imagine a Rig Blaster might allow you something a bit faster than just a soundcard does at 1200 baud.
Does it?
Kevin VK3UKF -
Another cool web site
You know what, now I want one.
What else have you got???
I´ve got a Space Shuttle, a Mercury capsule, a Gemini capsule, an Apollo/Saturn 1 and an Apollo/Saturn 5 Launcher, an Apollo CSM and LL, uhh, a Jupiter C and a Russian Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz launcher,
a French Ariane launcher, an Aerobee missile and an Honest John missile.
Think that´s it..I´ll be keeping a look out at my local hobby shop for an ISS and a MIR.
I´m slacking off, I´ve been collecting these models since Neil and Buzz stepped out for a stroll.
Best to you and yours.
