[W8MWA] SSTV try out

[Joshua Smith]

It was lots of fun. Part of our bad results were because I was using the speaker on my iPhone to receive the pictures. After we quit playing around I took a few minutes and have my signalink USB connected to my radio. Hopefully we can give it another shot soon with better results.

 I messed up and did not save the images or I would post them Somewhere for everyone to see.
