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!!
