SSTV pics received from April 2 to April 7:

The first two pics were received with MultiPSK. After seeing how poorly it worked (maybe the config needs more work), I switched to MMSSTV for the rest.

Equipment was an Alinco DR-1200 connected to a 17ft colinear vertical mounted 25 feet above ground using about 75 feet of RG-6 feedline. Computer was a Dell Latitude CPxJ laptop running Win2K (my only non-Linux machine). Located at 42d59'40" N / 86d7'26" W.

Hope to see more SSTV from the ISS soon, but for now I'd be happy to have the digipeater back.
