SSTV via HO-68

In the next HO-68 schedule 11-18 April 3 passes preserve for SSTV mode on FM transponder!
This is a good chance to encouraging swl and scanner fans to receive some sstv pictures.
may this recruit more young people to satellite.

I’ve tested my setup on SO-50 21:10 UTC with a fair result , but not like HO-68

XW-1 Mode rest time!

It’s was clear from several observations the Mode rest point fall anywhere in the last beacon loop!
(No -WAIT- order dominated over -DO- order ).

Count number of HO-68 TLM frames/Pass

Hope-1 (HO-68) sends CW TLM every 10 seconds
the sequence takes 40 seconds
Number of TLM Frames per pass = Total Pass time (AOS to LOS) in seconds/50

SSTV via HO-68

A shot of SSTV succeeded via Hope-1 satellite.
Mode was Robot 36.

It works! thank you guys

Mike Dk3WN Wrote

It works! Today we had only ONE russian station who called CQ. I am very surprised – thank you guys for your discipline and tolerance for digital modes! Next week is scheduled again for voice operations…
EA1JM, ST2NH, UR4LRH, DK3WN were active today.

Where my pul file # 161 gone? And where my uploaded file # 160

At HO-68 Orbit #1205 Wisp started to upload a file number 161
The file 161 partial uploaded .on the next pass orbit # 1206 wisp try to upload what left from the file but the sever on satellite denied existance of file # 161 !!
and shift to upload the next file #162 (see 2nd photo)

Again the Directory was empty ??? I uploaded 2 or 3 messages yesterday and 1 messages
today file # 160 . As you can see in the photo #2 .The satellite
was accepted the file.

I requested the directory as my friend Mike DK3WN did !but it was empty! see this on the 3rd photo . where the Multipsk on other PC monitoring the Hope-1 satellite downlink by soundcard.

This question I 've asked several time !
is there something wrong on HO-68 BBS??

Again some stations FMing and QRMing the Digi Week !!!

Still some stations on FM mode!!
I've managed to upload few messages.
