Re: [amsat-bb] A suggestion for Experimenter's Wednesdays on AO-91
I have only made a few contacts on the FM birds, so a very newbie. Ramping up quickly with my Christmas wish list for linear birds. If SSTV has run its course, please do not stop all together. Maybe can rotate different weeks of the month for experimental day. I have only heard one SSTV picture on the bird a few weeks back but remember it well. Still remember my 1st HF SSTV contact Ivory Coast. I think keeping SSTV some weeks may get a few more people interested in satellites, just like ISS SSTV. Sure wish the US would send as many ISS pictures as the Russians. I do not understand that either. 73 Mike K4MIA
Hello Mike,
If SSTV has run its course, please do not stop all together.
Not to worry. SSTV from space is one of our best crowd pleasers. And it is fun :-)
Sure wish the US would send as many ISS pictures as the Russians. I do not understand that either.
The current configuration of ham equipment on the ISS has the computer and transceiver that are SSTV-capable in the Russian segment of the ISS. A standard amateur radio configuration for everyone on the ISS is under development. See www.ariss.org.
Welcome to some of the coolest stuff in ham radio ... amateur radio in space!
