Among other things it was used to make the first transatlantic 1200 bps PSK packet contact (via FO-12 in late 1986) with Tom Clark W3IWI, now K3IO. Somewhere I still have the cassette tape ...

Good to hear from you James. You'll be interested to know that I've recently been using my FO-12 PSK modem & PK88 TNC for decoding signals from Delfi-C3. It appears to be working much better than the RASCAL sound card decoder. Unfortunately, I can't find and information on the data format, so I can't be 100% certain whether the end results are better. My posting about this seems to have been lost during the excitement about the ISS & SSTV :-)

BTW nice pictures on those websites you mentioned.
