Hi!
I just uploaded the video I made from the 1711 UTC AO-73 pass earlier today. I used my HP Stream 8 tablet with the FUNcube Dashboard software, FUNcube Dongle Pro+ (and USB On-The-Go cable), and the 2m crossed dipole.
The tablet started out with Windows 8.1, but I upgraded it to Windows 10 last month. This was the first chance I had to copy the high-power telemetry with one of my tablets. I used the crossed dipole instead of my Elk log periodic, since the crossed dipole does a better job at copying the telemetry than my Elk log periodic antenna does when I hold it skyward. I saw no problems running the FUNcube Dashboard and the Firefox browser running at the same time. I had Firefox open, so I could catch my call on the FUNcube data warehouse web page during this pass.
73!
