To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Proposed new event: Inspired by Straight Key Night, I've been thinking we ought to have a Green Key Night for RTTY, when you have to use a real mechanical Teletype and preferably 850Hz shift and a boatanchor rig. The appropriate date is Feb 20, the anniversary of FCC permitting FSK RTTY on HF in 1953. (I've just been reading Vol. 1 of RTTY magazine, 1953, which tells about the first night's operation on that date.) -- haynes@cats.ucsc.edu "Ya can talk all ya wanna, but it's dif'rent than it was!"

Is it possible? I'd like to be able to receive satellite photos direct from the satellites but don't want to spend another $XXX to buy a satellite wefax demodulator. I've found that by carefully tuning the signal from the satellite in SSB with a very narrow bandwidth I can copy the pictures a little bit but doppler shift makes this process very difficult. It would be much easier to receive the signal in FM from the satellite and convert the audio tone's amplitude modulations to frequency modulation and feed it to my HFFAX demodulator. Alternately, is there software available to do the same thing with a simple interface?
