Introduction to FLDIGI on January 20th at 7:00 PM
The TDRC will be presenting "An Introduction to FLDIGI" on January 20th at 7:00 PM at the Tulsa Amateur Radio Club meeting. Meeting will be a University of Tulsa's Keplinger Hall. It will be an excellent opportunity to find out more about the opportunities to operate digital modes using the FLDIGI suite of programs.
No FLDIGI Net January 1st -- nets will resume January 8th
There will be no weekly FLDIGI net on January 1st in observance of the holiday. Nets will start up again on January 8th.

Python code for Satellite Tracking.
I've done some elementary Python stuff on the Rasby and in Windows but I need to pick up this "rabbit trail" sometime soon.

like most Python code, this looks super-easy. ... almost magic....

No FLDIGI net December 25th
No net this upcoming Thursday because it is Christmas. We will resume again the following week. Everyone have a Merry and safe Christmas!
Satellite tracking on Raspberry Pi
Something worth trying, even though I haven't had the chance:

Using the Raspberry Pi and GPredict software to track Funcube-1 (or many other) satellites
start up a terminal window (LX Terminal). Then type
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gpredict
The Pi will then download and install the GPredict software for you and return to the commaind
prompt
once it has finished.
To start the software up, from your terminal window, simply type: gpredict
OR: main menu >> Run >> Type gpredict
The software will then start. You need to do a little configuration to tell the program where
you are
(the default is Copenhagen where the author lives!).
Happy tracking!
