AO-51 SSTV Success

Successfully received a SSTV signal from AO-51 and decoded it with MMSSTV.

A special event message was made available through HamSat AO-51 which marked the 40th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing. AO-51 had transmitted a special message commemorating the event during evening passes on Monday, July 20 and into early July 21 UTC. I was able to receive the digital message which was transmitted on the 435.300 MHz FM downlink. A special AO-51 SWL QSL will be sent to ground stations who copied the downlink.

I then received the following QSL card in return
