ISS SSTV Reception

On hearing that there was going to be a ISS SSTV opportunity from the 28 December to 2 January, a used the Android app ISS Detector to set a reminder in my phone.  Here is what it added to my calendar: -



10 Minutes notice gave me just enough time to put the 2m elements on to the Arrow antenna, set the ID-51A up for recording the pass and then get myself out onto the lawn in-front of the flat (as this pass was going to be a somewhat problematic from the NW facing balcony).    

I managed to record two image transmissions, the second fading as the ISS dipped behind our flat.

This time I used MMSSTV with VB Audio Cable to do the decoding.  It produced good results.





Diploma received on 31 December 2019
