[sarex] Re: Are you ready for SSTV from ISS?

[Francisco Costa, CT1EAT]

Hi all

I was testing my equipment at 16:57 UTC for the
scheduled ISS SSTV test (on the following orbit),
when I heard CW tones, and then the typical SSTV tones.
WOW. I jump from the chair. I couldn't belive it!
I received a perfect robot 36 still image, and
when I thought the surprises were over, I recieved
a near perfect live image using Martin 1 WOWOWOWOW.
See all on my blog http://ct1eat.blogspot.com/
