I managed to dust off the Arrow antenna and my trusty little
VX-3R (at the last minute I couldn't locate my TH-D7A, which
I like a little better, but the VX-3R works) and aimed it
at the sky.  I had a bit of trouble with the manual tracking,
but I recorded about 10 minutes, netting four different attempts
at the SSTV image.   I blogged it here:

MP3 and images are available.  Not the greatest, but not terrible
either.
