If you sent a SSTV image via AO-85 this evening about 2238 UTC, I just want to let you know that someone (i.e. me) received it. Unfortunately, it wasn't clear enough for me to identify the sender. I can see "CQ AO-85 SSTV de SPACE COMMS" and I can see that it is a picture of someone's face, but I can't make out a callsign.
It is reasonable to assume that the lack of resolution in the image I received is due to the minimal receiving set up on my end.
I like Experimenter Wednesday. It gives me another radio challenge.

Steve that was my image. I made it at the last minute and didn't have time to increase the size of my callsign, which is barely decipherable even in the original image:

Please send me your reception if you don't mind. Lots of people received the images this evening and they are sharing them on Twitter, Facbook, and even on Instagram. Pretty cool to get SSTV reports from a satellite. This is a first for me and I agree this is a very cool experiment.
