South Yorkshire SSTV night

March 14, 2010

South Yorkshire SSTV Net night.

Ian M6DER presents an open invitation for all to join in the SSTV night which will be running on Monday nights from the 15th March.

All are welcome.

The net will run in a round robin fashion with a controller.

The idea is to send your picture – in turn – and then talk about the picture sent for example the story behind it, if there is one, or maybe you just like the picture for its own sake.

I hope that you will join in, if not then feel free to listen in, hopefully my enthusiasm for SSTV will be obvious and we can all help each other with setups or problems.

The SSTV Net will run on 144.500Mhz

Thanks for your time M6DER

The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado. Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
