- Bertus suggested that since SSTV will be out for a while, how about digital SSTV? Jan P. knows about this. Perhaps add him and this idea on the TES committee list. Frank said that this would require multiple ground stations and control operators for long periods of time. We don’t have the hardware to do this automatically yet.
- Kenneth reported that August 15 is the scheduled launch date for the SSTV system.
- Graham said that he has adjusted the Wiki site to say that the date of HamTV is TBD, not next month.
