Congratulations to the sstver's on ISS.
Ron Parise, WA4SIR and I EXCHANGED SSTV pics between 2 and 10 Dec
1990...on a COLUMBIA SAREX. QSL's to prove it..
Present users may be interested in my claim that I delivered the
first NEWSPAPER in space!
Dick Richard, KB5SIW and Ellen Baker, KA5SIX set a record in space on
Columbia 25 June to 9 July 1990, and the SAN DIEGO UNION NEWS
recorded the event on 2 July 1990....I got up at 0500 on 3 July, took
a picture of the paper article, and SSTV'ed it to COLUMBIA. And of
course have that QSL..
I don't know if NASA archived any of those transactions...

I used an old ROBOT, of course, that was updated with all the
modes...Still have it!!
