Thanks for the reminder! Hopefully I can get some good pics. I am all set up and ready to go.

Looking forward to it!

Getting all nice 12 pictures going to be little trlcky.

 

[KE4EST]

Anyone received anything yet?

 

[KE4EST]

I have this thing on auto pilot and just noticed I have one, that is pretty noisy.

Getting better!

Nothing but super-low passes for me so far. Hoping for a good one tonight.

During our last W6EK club meeting one of the members did a demo of the ISS SSTV capture using a small beam from inside the building.

Another round coming up from this Friday, 18:25 UTC to Sunday, 18:30 UTC.

 

[KE4EST]

Anyone got anything yet? I have been monitoring since 18:00 UTC (just to be ready). Supposed to be a pass coming overhead in about 30 mins so I will know if they are transmitting or not.

 

[KE4EST]

Not a peep!

 

[Jim S.]

According to everything I've read, the signal has been very weak everywhere. No word on what the problem is.

I heard the signal twice yesterday, but way too weak to decode (discone antenna). In the past that antenna worked great.

 

[KE4EST]

I got a very fuzzy picture at 15:42. Not worth showing but the bottom and the call sign came in pretty good.

 

[lost_mesa]

Much better today!

 

[KE4EST]

Here is what I just got. Yours is much better.
