[sarex] Re: Be on the lookout for more Simonyi SSTV and voice activity

[Greg D.]

Wow, great visible pass, rising out of the north west, and going straight overhead before winking out.  I couldn't see much in the way of structure, even with binoculars, but it was really bright.

I heard sstv, and had my PC running a live capture into QSSTV on my Linux box.  The program decoded it as Robot36, but the picture is just a bunch of nearly horizontal colored stripes, like a TV set that is way out of sync.  You can see that there was some text at the bottom, but it's illegible.  

I used the same setup with Richard a few months ago, and got some beautiful pictures.  What format was Charles using?
