ARISSAT1, The pass over the Pacific Northwest yesterday afternoon at 2320 was heard for several minutes. The anouncement and telemetry was heard. I can't do SSTV or read the telemetry and the signal was a tad weak but we heard the whole pass. 73 all, as I learn how to do this sat stuff Joe KT7E CN85mm

ALSO.... If you have heard the satellite, There is a place to get a nice certificate. Depending on what mode you copied, send an e-mail with the info to: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
There is also an ongoing cw contest if you send in 5 calls heard on the transmission of notable AMSAT people of the past & present - [email protected]
Arissat-1 will not be in orbit too much longer (even a chicken little contest for that!!) so send in for a nice certificate from the awards crew supporting these efforts. 73, Dee, NB2F certificate coordinator

Hi Joe...
A suggestion...
Set up "Scanner Recorder" on your computer and hook your sound card to your receiver's output. Leave it on all the time with a medium squelch....
When you feel like it, you can come home and listen to everything that happened since the last time you opened the file.
Then when you get time...download one of the free SSTV programs, I believe MMSTV is one, and start both programs feeding the audio from your saved files into the SSTV program directly.
Simple SSTV practice, copy, saved results and ability to play with the setup using the stored files. I've got megabites on my computer and I haven't even processed them yet for pictures....no time...but there will be some here when it snows.
Set them (Satellite SSTV pics) while they're hot!
