[IRCNews] ARISS Aug 4 & 5

[Ken Bandy, KJ9B]

Yeah Carl.  This is one of those cases where less is more.  With a handheld, you can "point" it where you get the best signal.  I tried my base once, and came up with similar results to yours.

Here’s my reception for my base station, but not the greatest reception.

Well, after not getting much at all on the first pass this afternoon, I was able to get the attached on the second pass. Full scale signal!  Thanks again for the heads up, David!

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!
