[amsat-bb] PSAT2 SSTV/telemetry intervals?

[Hans BX2ABT]

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that page, yet.

As for 2m: I have a nasty local case of interference here which wipes 
out 145.825 in most directions (local electronic billboard), so I'm not 
active with APRS.

BTW, what do you mean by NARROW-FM? I take it that it is the deviation 
of the FM signal, with narrow being 2.5 kHz, right?
