AO-85 SSTV

This has been fairly well communicated across the Satellite community, buy hey, I'm always a bit late to the party :)

From Andrew KO4MA:

With the recent popularity of Slow Scan Television (SSTV) from the
ISS, AMSAT Operations is bringing back Experimenter’s Wednesday to AO-
85.

On a trial basis, we invite users to exchange pictures using Robot
36 SSTV mode via the FM repeater on AO-85 during UTC Wednesdays.
Please identify prior to beginning transmissions, and only send when
the uplink is clear.

Stations are requested to only uplink if they have a reasonable
expectation of maintaining a full-quieting signal for the duration of
the image transmission.

Smaller stations are encouraged to focus on receiving the images.

Please don’t send questionable or provocative images. If in doubt,
pick another one.

Expect all ages to be participating.

Feedback is encouraged, and comments may be directed via email to: ko4ma at amsat dot org.

=====================

This past Wednesday, I did manage to snag a couple of noisy pics... interesting to listen
to the FM QSOs coming in between SSTV images on the pass.
