Yes I agree with Gene, Elmer's wanted! I would read any tutorials,
specific to this AO-51 event. I was able to grab some of Richard
Garriotts, ISS, TV transmissions on my Yaesu VX7R HT with a Panasonic
Digital Voice Recorder, plugged into my mic's head phone jack, using my dual
band hand held Arrow antenna and then play that into, the computer SSTV
program on my desktop computer, back in the shack. (QTH is in a radio
hole, I must go remote and have no laptop, I think I have a link to those
pics on my QRZ)
I would love it, if someone could explain how I might; (1) convert a
digital picture into the SSTV sound format, so I can put it on my digital
voice recorder (I can do this from my shack before a pass) and then a
better way to get that data, into the transmit side of my VX7R radio,
outside of playing the sound file into the HT mic. I may have to break down
and get a net book or lap top, dedicated for this purpose but if there is a
more minimalist approach, I would love to consider it.
Furthermore, as a CERT Communications team member, I would like to be able
to transmit a SSTV pic from a remote site, with the absolute minimum of
equipment needed. As a rule, right now, I always have, in my car; an
Emergency CERT backpack, an HT HAM radio with battery charger, a directional
antenna and others, a digital camera and a digital voice recorder, what
other, minimum, pieces of the puzzle do I need, to transmit SSTV, remotely
and how do they fit together? Just typing this email, has caused me to
realize, I need to burn a SSTV program onto a disc and put that in my CERT
bag too, so even if I dont have a laptop, in an emergency, if/when I can get
to a computer, I can install the SSTV program, to view/create/send SSTV,
remote. (feel free to respond here if appropriate or directly to
KI6RRQ@xxx.xxx if you have some wisdom and the desire to share it)

I talked for a while with Dave this afternoon. It was amazing. While
he was not trying to kick touch the roof from a stand, he was talking
about coming to Dayton for 3 days. He just sounded terrific.
He has some potentially tough days ahead with the upcoming treatments
but he wanted me to let everyone know that he was as cantankerous as
ever and he intended to go back to work in 12 weeks. He believes the
prognosis is good. He is tired, still in a bit of pain, but in good
spirits.
He appreciates the emails, notes, etc. he has been getting, is looking
forward to a visit from John, and expects to be having a good time at
Dayton in 7 or so weeks!
He is a little too tired to tackle all of the emails but he will soon.
Bob

Amsat-DL international team successfully transmitted and received
signals via Venus on 25-03-2009 at 10:38 utc.
The signal received was about 0.3 dB under bad interference from WLAN
and bad weather in Bochum.
The transmitter was about 6 kW CW on 2.4 GHz .
The transmitter used a magnetron that has been locked to rubidium and
for the first time SSB quality was achieved making it possible to use
this transmitter for P5A Amsat-DL mission to Mars.
The use of a magnetron for this purpose was possible thanks to a new
Amsat-DL developed modulator that enables a magnetron to be used for
narrow band operation.
With this transmitter Amsat-DL is ready to start the next step in the
Mars mission and prepare the spacecraft.

On March 25th, 2009 a team from the German space organisation AMSAT-DL
reached another milestone on its way to an own interplanetary probe
towards planet Mars. The ground station at the Bochum observatory
transmitted radio signals to Venus. After traveling almost 100 million
kilometers and a round trip delay of about 5 minutes, they were clearly
received as echoes from the surface of Venus. Receiving planetary echoes
is a premi?re in Germany and Europe. In addition, this is the farthest
distance crossed by radio amateurs, over 100 times further than echoes
from the moon (EME reflexions).
For receiving the EVE (Earth-Venus-Earth) reflections, an FFT analysis
with an integration time of 5 minutes was used. After integrating for 2
minutes only, the reflected signals were clearly visible in the display.
Despite the bad weather, signals from Venus could be detected from
1038UT on until the planet reached the local horizon.
The high power amplifier which is described in the current AMSAT-DL
journal has therefore passed this crucial test as a final key component
for the planned P5-A Mars mission. By receiving generated echoes from
Venus, the ground and command station for the Mars probe has been
cleared for operational use and the AMSAT-Team is now gearing up for
building the P5-A space probe.
For financing the actual construction and launch, AMSAT-DL is currently
in negotiation with the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum f?r Luft- und Raumfahrt)
among others, to obtain financial support for the remaining budget of 20
Mill EUR.
AMSAT-DL wants to show that low-budget interplanetary exploration is
possible with its approach.
More information and the link to the official press release:
http://www.amsat-
dl.org//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=166&Itemid=97
The EVE experiment was repeated on Thursday, March 26th for several
hours with good echoes from Venus. Morse code was used to transmit the
well known ?HI? signature known from the AMSAT OSCAR satellites.

Hi Peter,
Congratulations to you and your team for this outstanding accomplishment!
I simply can't believe how far we have come since I first heard OSCAR 1 & 2
transmitting "HI" from space. I feel privileged to be a witness to the
kind of success our hobby has experienced thanks to you and all the
dedicated amateurs around the world who have brought us to this point.
Thanks again for the info and for the continued effort.

Thanks for the report, Bob. I spoke with Dave a couple of days ago, and
as you said, he sounds a bit tired, but he's doing remarkably well. I'm
going to drive up to Lima (Ohio) on Saturday to annoy him for a while,
and will report back.

Hi all,
After reading some of the posts about the SSTV on AO-51 I decided to give it
a try. I downloaded and installed MMSSTV and waited for a pass. There was a
good 40 degree pass over San Angelo, Texas beginning at about 00:14 UTC. I
connected my radio's data jack to my computer with my USB adapter and
recorded the pass with my digital voice recorder. Lucky I did as nothing
showed up on the computer via the data jack connection. I used my Elk
Antenna to receive the signals.
After the pass I brought everything back into the house and connected the
voice recorder's ear jack to the computer's mic jack. After adjusting the
volume so MMSSTV wasn't complaining about an overload I ran the recording.
MMSSTV was in Auto Rx Mode and changed to Robot 36 as it received the
information.
The image isn't very clear, but at least I was able to receive something.
If anyone would care to look at the image and help me identify why it is not
clearer it would be appreciated. It has been uploaded to my photobucket
account at the following URL:

I try to record the signal rather than decode directly. Make sure the
recording isn't clipping, and that you are recording at a high quality
setting. If it sounds "okay" for voice, it won't be good enough for
SSTV.

Kind of hard to tell. Make sure the recording isn't clipped as
mentioned before, and get a good music-quality recording rather than
speech-quality.

That looks like KO6TZ's picture. I've seen it many times !
And it does NOT take too much audio to make the MMSSTV
work. I can turn the volume down on my radio to where I can just
hear it on the speaker, and that's enough. Louder is OK, as long as you
don't crank it up where it's all distorted.

That looks like KO6TZ's picture. I've seen it many times !
And it does NOT take too much audio to make the MMSSTV work. I can turn the
volume down on my radio to where I can just hear it on the speaker, and
that's enough. Louder is OK, as long as you don't crank it up where it's
all distorted.

On May 16 2008 at the ARRL National Convention and the Dayton
Hamvention we will have a software defined radio forum aimed at
amateur radio operators.
SO FAR:
Bob McGwier, N4HY SDR update (< 15 minutes)
Scott Cowling WA2DFI on HPSDR Project update (20 minutes)
Frank Brickle, AB2KT, on VR and DttSP (20 minutes)
Michelle Thompson, W5NYV on Microwave Engineering Project
(http://bit.ly/G3nW) (20 minutes)
Gerald Youngblood on the new Flex offerings
(http://www.flex-radio.com/) (20 minutes)
We have room FOR TWO MORE TALKS AND THAT IS IT. That will not count
the fun we will have harassing Dave Toth relentlessly in the halls
before and after! COME ONE COME ALL.
The AMSAT and TAPR dinner will be that night.
Richard Garriott, an amateur radio operator, computer game author,
son of astronaut Owen Garriott and recent returnee from the space
station where he was a space tourist will be the banquet speaker at
the TAPR and AMSAT dinner! TAPR and AMSAT officially sponsor HPSDR.
