Congrats Bob to you and everyone at VT. It was fun decoding high speed frames this morning. I didn't get as many as I wanted. Antennas were iced from the storm up here last night.

The tests have VT celebrating. We have been getting our act together while our groundstation was taking down for maintenance since we were not anticipating the launch. HA HA HA.
The sun flares off the antennas are, in a word, awesome, but the gorgeous views of earth are better than I had personally hoped for.
Thanks to our team the seemingly endless set of tweaks and knobs on this camera aided ably by Jerry N0JY and the entire testing team, the settings seem great.
I look forward to many more of these awesome pictures and our continued relationship between VT and AMSAT.

Saturday morning AO-92 passes at 1436 and 1610 UTC will likely test the VT camera. Please be ready to decode and feed high speed data to server with FoxTelem (check your rx bandwidth if using a SDR program to decode, 18kHz or wider), and please stay off the uplink. All submitted data will help our server assemble a complete picture!
