Follow up to my earlier post about getting SSTV signals from ARRISat-1. I have now decoded 2 1/2 photos.
They are not real clear, though the band was fully quiet. No static etc. I can see some detail of the horizon of earth and space. Cool. I'll keep at it. And thank you to those who helped with suggestions!
