I don't know of any. The bandwidth would be quite large and most passes of satellites are probably too short to get pictures through to another station as well.

I know some people have tried Slow Scan TV via satellites, but again the problems of the lack of time before the satellite is out of range may be a problem.

Ok, thx!
Oh. It is a pity, it would be pleasant to see the colleague for some thousand kilometers. ;)
