I finally managed to be active again on the QO 100 satellite. After some tests and SSB QSO’s I tried RTTY and than also some SSTV transmission.

Considering that currently my signal at the transponder input is not very strong, I never thought I would be able to make 2way QSOs even in SSTV!

Below are some nice images exchanged with Greg SQ6ILB from Poland. Stability and synchronism are excellent both in reception and transmission.

This is the box with the converter 430/2400 Mhz disciplined by external GPSDO and the booster before the final destination on the roof.
