I finally received an image. This is the second image during the 2:06 PM pass. I was on USB yesterday with the Diamond whip that replaced my original rubber duck so I failed. I worked the 12:30 pass today on FM, but couldn’t get a strong signal. At 2:00 I connected to my hex beam and didn’t hear anything. I quickly switched back to the Diamond whip and was successful. I also caught the last image, but the signal faded before completion.

 

Thank you Dave for providing all the information. It made this an easy task and a lot of fun.

Get your 2m HTs ready for Aug 4 & 5. There will be another picture being transmitted from the ISS! If you successfully receive the picture, you can get a certificate!

 

Here is a schedule I did for all the passes over Indianapolis (using LOCAL times):

Aug 4 1:18-1:27pm

Aug 5 12:32-12:39pm

Aug 5 2:06-2:17pm

 

Remember, all you need to receive the picture is:

2m HT set to 145.800 MHz (a better antenna than the stock one would help)

Smartphone with software set to PD120 mode:

-Android: Robot36

-iOS: Black Cat Systems entitled “SSTV Slow Scan TV”

 

Have fun!

-David, N9KT
