PATH: R0MIR





The ham eqm is  at the end of Priroda, where Serguei sleeps. My sleeping 

bag is at the entry of Priroda. We use the same antenna as for SAFEX and

SSTV. Therefore there is not any more SAFEX and when we have SSTV 

sessions we use an other station (Kenwood TM-V7) than the one where the 

TNC is connected in. It is either packet or SSTV. We have only one 

transformer. Also the antenna is fitted in some place which is not 

accessible of a filter which prevent from using UHF...I will send images

of the kit this Sunday. Also the SSTV is not fitted with a system which 

record pictures and send it automatically to the ground. In the auto mode

it sends only what is before the camera. We have a good window nor far bu

t the orientation is rarely good. The only way of making the pictures 

changing is being next to kit, that require too much time. That is for 

these two reasons there is not often SSTV. This WE when we connected back

the packet and all the night the cable between radio and packet was 

poorly connected. Veronica from Venezia told me that she could only 

recieve the carrier and then I fixed it. I think you have almost all 

informations. The last is that we are supposed to return to earth the 

24/08 as scheduled today. 3 days before this date we have to close the 

hatch of Priroda. We ahve to think of what we do with the radio shack by

that time. Cheers.

I need to check with the SAFEX team , as I think BOTH packet and the

SAFEX Repter can run at the same time [ and hve ] as it has its own pwr supply

built in - so Letskeep our fingers X'd on this and maybe we will get  SAFEX 

on line.



With the KAM beeing able to be ctrl'ed frm the grd , this will help out in

maybe Keeping it on, Maybe a good way is just to hve the digi on. This way

less chance of problems, I will ask Serge about this. Or have the MIR crew

ask.



Hve fun wrking MIR
