All, I asked Jim where in the world he has been. Here is his response: I've been at Diego Garcia since early July and in fact am gearing up to return home in another month. I'm QRV on HF as well as the satellites, and just this evening (my time) had the opportunity to visit the GPS tracking station located on the island; very cool indeed! 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC

11:18-11:29UTC, 5 Oct 2012, Ele 69 WS-E-EN, 437.515MHz I succeeded in decoding the 'Scottie 1' signal of WE_WISH SSTV. You will notice that you watch an image carefully in a sentence of "JQ1ZIJ MEISEI ARC 2012" being written at the end line. http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/21005wis.png http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/21005wi3.mp3 JE9PEL, Mineo Wakita
