Greetings all
I experimented with SSTV via FO-20 yesterday and received
several e-mail
messages from those who copied the image. I'd like to thank
you all for the
messages and suggestions. Al, N2YAC
suggested a longer start/alert tone
to enable the op at the receiving end to adjust his
receiver. Victor, KE4LKQ
liked the idea of SSTV via satellite and sent the image he
copied back to me
which was very good. Others copied the image from fair
to good, and would
like more advanced notice next time to set things up...sri
guys.
I was surpised to hear that following the
doppler from FO-20 wasn't that difficult
when copying the SSTV signal in
SSB. I havn't had the opportunity to try it
other than FM SSTV from Mir. Oscar ten would be the ultimate in SSTV work
(DX SSTV !) but it looks like it
will be in the "sleep mode" for a while, we'll
have
to wait and see.
Thanks for the help and hope to do it again soon... I'll watch
the Amsat -bb
for SSTV posts and will be glad to lend
assistance. If anyone would like, I
can send the image I transmitted via SSTV that was returned to
me via e-mail.
73, Tony
