Thanks Koos.
The resampling errors might explain why I've sometimes gotten better
decodes live than after I play it back through the recorder.
I'll add that to the web page, and the qsstv recommendation as well.

I have available a spare 16 turn RHCP 1.2Ghz helix for sale. Aluminum
reflector, stainless steel support, UV protected PVC supports, It was a
spare I was going to use on AO-40 (sobsob). It is home brew and about 80%
complete. I can finish it up in a few hours if anyone is interested in it. I
can provided pictures and details. I have built about 10 of these back in
the day of HEO.

Its been 4 years.
K2BSA's going back to Summit Bechtel for the 2017 National Scouting
Jamboree in Beckley WV, we arrive this weekend to begin building the
station.? ? Help us show off Amateur Radio to the many (25,000) scouts at
the Jamboree.? We'll be on the FM and linear satellites.
I appreciated K8YSE's synopsis from 2013 so much I thought I'd share it

Here is the answer I got to my inquiry about bringing ham radio gear on
board.? It looks like blanket permission since in "Exemptions and Other
Considerations" it states "Permitted to be used on board"
Since the ship is registered in Panama all I need to do is contact the ARRL
for my IARP Permit.? Has anyone had a problem taking an Elk or Arrow antenna
on a plane or will it have to go in the belly (extra $25)? (broke down, not
together)

My wife, son and I are booked on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean from
Miami aboard the Splendor, booking # XXXXXX. As I was reading through the
"What to Pack" I clicked on "Prohibited Items",
Listed under "Carnival Corporation Prohibited Items" you list "Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios, satellite phones,
transformers, lasers and laser pointers" yet under "Exemptions and Other

We AMSAT cruised,? we were constantly being questioned by security folks,
especially where we were out at night on deck and aiming our arrows at the
sky.? It just took persistence and MANY contacts were made by several
people.

Gridders,
I'll be roving to FN12 & FN22 tomorrow 7/12 from late
afternoon and into the evening. My plan is to use the
FO29, SO50 & XW2 Birds. On the linear SATs, you should
hear me somewhat up the bandpass. On SO50, I'm hoping
I'll able to finish a QSO or two (!). I may be able to
get down to FN11/21 the next morning, but not for sure.

Hello Jim,
? Download MMSSTV, it is free and still the best and you can be up and
running with your equipment in 5 minutes.
? The best web page for help is by WA9TT.? His web page has a beginner
section and live sstv capture worldwide.
? Transmission is on 145.800 and MMSSTV automatically finds the format being
used.?
? You can go to 14.230 to practice rx prior to the event.
? Email me direct if you have any questions?
Good luck & 73,

I highly recommend recording the audio.
That way if you have issues decoding during TX you can always replay to the
decoder later. Also you can try different decoders and settings to see
which produces the best image.
I have more tips and info on this page on my website:

Two items for that page:
1: when recording, try to set the sample rate in the recording software to
the same number sample rate as used by the sstv software. This avoids
resampling errors.
2: qsstv for linux works fine for decoding ISS images.

Dale,
This is the place to get answers. Lots of users here, and Erich monitors it.
AO-85 is included in the AMSAT Keps, nasa.all and nasabare.txt. Make
certain the Group uses one or the other.
That having been said, at this moment, I am not able to reach any of the
AMSAT sites. Will investigate, and if needed report.
73s,
Alan

I have no problems selecting it from the list of satellites in the Keps.
Be sure you are using AO-85 (the name has to be exact including the
hyphen) and be sure your SQF files match as well.

Dale,
This has been discussed many times in the past. You need to get your keps
from AMSAT in order to have AO-85 listed because it was part of a military
launch. You need to add the following line to your source list.
http://www.amsat.org/tle/current/nasabare.txt
The SatPC32 manual is a wealth of information and it explains how to add
sources to your list.
