The signals are loud here too. I just received a full image which
started at 7 degrees above the horizon and ended at the horizon. It's
clearly showing decoding errors, but at the best reception my FT-857D
gave it an S5. See https://twitter.com/khoos/status/938525407426629632

And that's on a vertical on top of the house. I wonder what an Az/El
rotor on a high spot can do!

S9 the entire pass just now on my Oscar-ish array, without the preamp.
2m antenna is a 2x8 element circular polarized beam, and about 60' of
old RG-something-thick (either 8 or 214) to the rig.  Full Az/El
rotisserie.  2 great images (4/12 and 5/12), though I had to switch
polarization about halfway through the first one.  Odd, since I thought
the ISS antennas were linear...

In the Extra class license manual I have it says signals can switch
polarity when they come through the ionosphere.

Yuri has asked that anyone who has not received
confirmations from this year and previous year's operations
to prepare logsheets so that he can mail them out when
he arrives in New Orleans.  Marinetraffic.com anticipates a
15 or 16Dec arrival but get these to me now so that he has
time to get them ready for mailing.  Instructions are at
papays.com/sat  There are no changes from the original procedure.

The Seahorse is a relatively new ship and is wider than previous
vessels so it cannot go through the locks in the Great Lakes.  So
he will be more restricted as to possible destinations than he
was last season.  He has been very busy with his duties and has
had little time for anything else.  He sends his regards to all.

73,
John K8YSE

Another approach that works extremely well and has a very large user base is
to use Direwolf on the Pi with an RTL-SDR.

The primary how-to is here:

https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/blob/master/doc/Raspberry-Pi-SDR-IGate.pdf

(can't copy/paste, unfortunately)

... and some of the same info is presented nicely at:

http://g7kse.co.uk/raspberry-pi-aprs-igate/

... some of the steps involved may look daunting, but they really are not if
you just follow the steps.  And running it after you're setup is extremely
easy.

Received 2 beautiful clear pictures (12/12 and 1/12)  from ISS SSTV on a 62

ISS that strong ?

Transmitting in the typical 3 min on / 3 min off schedule.  Does anybody
know if they issue certificates again on this SSTV cycle ?

Andreas, I thought it was 2 minutes on/off? The format is PD120 which is 120
seconds.

The first image I received started only a few seconds after AOS and was
surprisingly strong.

Received 2 beautiful clear pictures (12/12 and 1/12)  from ISS SSTV on a 62
degree pass over east coast Australia. Very strong signal .. never heard the
ISS that strong ?

Transmitting in the typical 3 min on / 3 min off schedule.  Does anybody
know if they issue certificates again on this SSTV cycle ?



Thanks,



Andreas - VK4TH
