[amsat-bb] SSTV challenge

[Ted Krempa]

Well said, Tom. Same here. I see no problem here...

I'm reminded of the Clint Eastwood line (he was 'Gunny Highway')
"....adapt and improvise..."

73 and a good weekend to you and all

73, Ted

Opportunities like the issue with the SSTV reception today are what I love
about amateur radio.
Things are not always perfect, and what you learn from the situation makes
you a more knowledgeable operator.  When the signal is perfect, I get
perfect images. Today I'm getting fair images with a home-made antenna and
the cheapest chinese radio on the market. It's a great opportunity to learn
how to fix things on your end, because when the next hurricane Maria comes
through, the people who need help the most, will most likely have the
weakest signal.
