Need East Coast
by Mervyn Hecht 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

I would like to schedule contacts with the East Coast. I am in Santa Monica CA. I can hear myself on the current 4 sats, but I don't hear anyone on the East Coast. If you are on the East Coast I would appreciate you letting me know if you hear the West Coast on any sat and if so I would like to set up a scheduled contact. Merv

If I worked you from EM46 and you need a confirmation, please email me and let me know, I think I have gotten all the email requests filled out and in the mail. If you do not receive one by the end of this week please advise and I will get you one in the mail. I didn't work that many people and I DO NOT NEED AN SASE. I am happy to send out a card for that trip, that's why I went up there. 73's and Happy New Year to all Frank K4FEG

MMSSTV and ARRISat-1
by kp hpjr 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

GA, All the talk about SSTV from this bird got me thinking I'd like to try! I downloaded MMSSTV and installed. What are the best settings to use in the setup page for decent copy of photos from ARRISAT-1? I did copy pix on 14.230 after setup as a test run...but on last pass of ARRISAT, had wonderful copy of voice beacon but no pictures decoded. So wonder what I might be doing wrong. Any help appreciated. Kirk, N0KK
