Ilość edycji wpisu: 2 | Lunar landing memorial EME SSTV party on 23 cm
During the July 20/21 weekend we at PI9CAM are engaged in several activities
to commemorate the lunar landing of Apollo 11 exactly 50 years ago.
To add something to the festivities we would like to try to spark some EME
SSTV activity.
During the night 20/21 July we will transmit several SSTV images to the moon
on 23 cm with our 25 m dish.
Of course those images will all have something to do with the Apollo
missions.
We encourage all to try and receive those images.
Over the years we have seen suprisingly fair/good results doing SSTV via the
moon.
Even the 'not so big' dishes can receive reasonable quality pictures!
We use the software MMSSTV. (see: https://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php )
It's easy to use and easy to set up.
One thing is important.
To get the pictures synchronised it helps a lot to tick 'auto slant
adjustment'
You get there when you are in RX mode and right click in the big white RX
box where the images appear.
Without auto slant adjustment you often will see skewed images....
If you like you can try to transmit images yourself.
It's pretty easy.
We will look for your signals.
Just have a look at the software and play a bit with it in advance and you
will be well prepared for the 'Lunar landing memorial EME SSTV party' !
BTW we found that the best ' SSTV sub mode' for EME is Martin2.
It takes about 1 minute in this mode to transfer one image.
During the July 20/21 night we will be on the HB9Q logger to announce our
transmissions and to coordinate other SSTV tests.
Looking forward to the party!
