The WB9KMO SSTV Repeater is back on the air!  It’s located near Patterson Avenue and the freeway (on my home tower) for now.  It ought to serve the Santa Barbara/Goleta area pretty well.  Soon it will be put back on Gibraltar Road at 2500’ elevation where coverage will be even better.

Give it a try on 145.750 MHz SIMPLEX.  Just send a 1750 Hz tone for 4 seconds and transmit your picture or wait for the last picture received to be retransmitted. 

If you haven’t tried Slow-Scan TV, you ought to.  It’s lots of fun and one of the easiest, least expensive specialized modes of operation.  You probably already have everything you need except for a free software download of MMSSTV (go to http://mmhamsoft.ham-radio.ch/mmsstv/index.htm).

If you want to know more, check into the SBARC ATV Net at 7:30pm Tuesday on 146.79 MHz.

I look forward to seeing you on ham radio,

Rod, WB9KMO
