Forum -- 2-meter Slow-Scan TV System for a High-Altitude Balloon Flight:  Roger KM4LHZ will discuss and demonstrate a breadboard of a 2-meter slow-scan TV (SSTV) system (aka narrow-band TV) for a high-altitude balloon (HAB) flight.  Pictures are taken at fixed time intervals by a fish-eye Raspberry Pi (RP) camera and RP board, and saved to an SD card on the RP board.  A subset of these images are: (1) decimated in size to thumbnail images, (2) inscribed with a call sign, (3) converted to SSTV sound files, and (4) transmitted as narrow-band audio tracks via 2 meter FM.  Both necessary and recommended steps for completing a flight-suitable HAB payload package will be summarized.
