[amsat-bb] NASA on the Air images with MMSSTV overlay?

[John Brier]

I think the template uses whatever callsign is set in MMSSTV. The template
is huge.

Also I was told MMSSTV has five templates and when you load images to
transmit into it the first five get the templates and presumably the others
don't which is why some have the template and others don't.
