SSTV on hamsats, then and now
by Dave Guimont 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

Congratulations to the sstver's on ISS. Ron Parise, WA4SIR and I EXCHANGED SSTV pics between 2 and 10 Dec 1990...on a COLUMBIA SAREX. QSL's to prove it.. Present users may be interested in my claim that I delivered the first NEWSPAPER in space! Dick Richard, KB5SIW and Ellen Baker, KA5SIX set a record in space on Columbia 25 June to 9 July 1990, and the SAN DIEGO UNION NEWS recorded the event on 2 July 1990....I got up at 0500 on 3 July, took a picture of the paper article, and SSTV'ed it to COLUMBIA. And of course have that QSL.. I don't know if NASA archived any of those transactions... Go to: http://home.san.rr.com/doguimont/uploads Drill down and click on Unionews.zip and click on BWNEWS.JPG Are they going to have any 2 way SSTV on this mission?? Does any on know?? I used an old ROBOT, of course, that was updated with all the modes...Still have it!! 73, Dave, WB6LLO dguimon1(a)san.rr.com Disagree: I learn.... Pulling for P3E...

I have just uploaded my QRN-full image onto the ARISS gallery. Note that it will not accept a high resolution jpeg so I set my jpeg to medium and it uploaded ok. MMSSTV reported reception at 1656z. Cor PD0RKC reported 1656z too but his image said 1652z; my image too obscure due to QRN. andy G0SFJ

Diplexer question
by Tim Tapio 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

I'm installing a diplexer on my downlink side. Since I'm running two antennas, do I just leave the 145 MHz alone or is it more better to terminate it with a 50 ohm load I suspect the load is a better answer. Does the preamp go prior to the diplexer? Or after? Thanks and 73 de Tim, K4SHF FM04
