SuitSat-1 Voice Timing Schedule posted
By Miles Mann WF1F
Hello all, to help you collect all of the voice messages, SSTV and telemetry,
I have posted the voice message timing schedule on the Marex web.
There are 7 different voice messages for you to find and post. There
is one 'special' word for you to find.
There is one SSTV image for you to snag and decode.
And there is some very important Battery data to collect.
So far, SuitSat has been running a bit longer than expected. Let's see
if we can collect more battery information. It looks like suitSat will
be alive all weekend?

SSTV (Slow Scan TV):
SSTV is a way Amateur Radio stations send JPG still
images around the world. We use an audio format we call SSTV. The SuitSat
project will transmit Telemetry,
Pre-Recorded Voice messages and one SSTV image. The whole process will
repeat approximately every 9 minutes. (Robot 36 format).
What's left is to connect your computer to the speaker of your radio
and some SSTV decoding software, such as
ChromaPix http://www.barberdsp.com/
or similar software. Here are just two of the many Share-Ware SSTV applications
on the market. There may be many more.

There are also many High quality pay software
applications that offer many more features, such as multiple windows that
allow you to simultaneously receive an image while preparing your next
image that you want to transmit.
