Anyone interested in #SSTV #hamradio the satellite SONATE-2 currently transmits images on 145.880MHz FM mode Martin M1 until 18 Nov 2024.
Picture received loud and clear with my trusty DIY 4 element yagi and bandpass filter into Baofeng UV-5R, decoded with Robot36 app.

Have you heard of a mineral called Ulexite?
The block itself has quite an interesting structure and looks translucent when polished but if you lay it down on a surface you suddenly can see a clear picture from what is underneath!

I have a chunk of that somewhere. I bought it about 4+ decades ago in a museum gift shop.
Fascinating stuff.

@fesix I hadn't, thank you - a quick search reveals it has the nickname "TV Rock" which seems quite appropriate 😁
