We were able to copy both the transmitted signal from Alaska and often the reflections from the moon. At times, especially at the beginning of the test, there seemed to be some other signals but it may have been the station sending out some initial tests? The reflection from the moon was

Andy, I agree with you - it would be nice to have a general purpose narrow bandwidth image mode which could be used in a stand alone fashion. The problem with MFSK16 SSTV is that it is tied to MFSK16 and you can't receive it if you didn't catch the MFSK Pic: command. Perhaps one of the

Yes I never quite understood why it only appeared as an MFSK thing. I guess it was because it shares a similar bandwidth with it. I think using a transmitted header (similar to Patrick's Reed Solomon sequence) at the start would be a better way to define picture size colors and it provides an
