SSTV NET - 14 March 2024
On Thursday night Northern & NW operators were once again able to join the Southern SSTV Net via VK7RJG in the North on Mt. Arthur and VK7RAF in the South. Nearly forty images were transferred via the statewide linkup that started about 7:30pm. This week there was no theme, the high lights were:
• Radio controlled target drones, model OQ-2, made by Radioplane in the 1940s for the US army
• A photo of one of the Radioplane factory workers call Norma Jeane Dougherty, who later changed her name to Marilyn Monroe
• The fifty-year anniversary of the release of the song “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John. This song was in honour of the life of Marilyn Monroe
Remember Ken VK7KRJ’s and Steve VK7OO’s fully automatic 24/7 monitoring site that allows anyone who has sent an SSTV picture the ability to check them on their pages almost immediately, any time, both South and North Tasmania.
