[amsat-bb] SEEDS June 12th: CW and Digitalker + SSTV

Today SEEDS had both CW, and digitalker on.

Actually the digitalker had the 'secret' code spoken, which, according to their WEB site, will enable you to receive the special digitalker QSL. So I did submit, let's see if I get it.

Same holds for SSTV, so I submitted the received picture, which was transmitted in the same pass, inbetween the spoken messages.

Reception was done during lunch, at around 5 degrees elevation, still good quality.

Just now (in the evening) writing this email, after I monitored the 437.485 CW downlink. Also was fine.

Would be nice if they would also be able to upload in the SSTV picture 'secret' messages. Not sure if it can be programmed still, or is fixed in the satellite.
