<H1>First SSTV Pictures from Amateur Radio CubeSat Seeds </H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The first Slow Scan Television (SSTV) pictures have been
received from the satellite which was launched on 28th April. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Masa JN1GKZ</STRONG> reports:<BR>I put SEEDS SSTV
picture on my web site. This is my best shoot. It's hard to take high quality
picture.<BR></FONT><A

<P><FONT face=Verdana>SEEDS sends only one SSTV picture which is stored in S/C
about everytwo minute when she is in Digi-talker mode. Please try to take high
quality one.</FONT></P><FONT face=Verdana>

</FONT>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Henk, PA3GUO</STRONG> reports:<BR>On my website I
have placed an mp3 recording of SEEDS digi-talker and SSTV picture of today
(10:15utc).<BR></FONT><A href="http://www.qsl.net/pa3guo" target=_blank><FONT
face=Verdana>http://www.qsl.net/pa3guo</FONT></A><FONT face=Verdana> - click in
left menu on SEEDS.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Having these messages broadcasted from space is a kind of
cool: keeps you interested to hear what's transmitted today, and what they say
(or sing ?). Not all seems to be in English, but I like the messages.
