I just built one cut to 140MHz. Works OK (with rather broad 2M preamp) on
both weather sats and cubesats. Doesn't have great input return loss;
tweaking wouldn't hurt but I'm not going to mess with it. Get it as high and
clear as you can.

Daniel Cussen, EI9FHB asked me to try my hand at editing his and
F6DZP's HamTV reception together. Since it was a recording after the
fact I could use the audio from HamTV and not just the VHF audio. I
also used video from the school where the students asked their
questions.
If anyone from ARISS UK or ARISS wants to use a version of this on an
official site without my introduction at the beginning you can use
this version instead:

Hi Henk,
What a huge signal from Grifex! It was 25 dB or so out of the noise. I
used HDSDR with my original Funcube. HDSDR was feeding VAC to the UZ7HO
modem software.
About the only text I saw in the clear was FM CQ to KD8SPS.
Antenna here is a KLM 40cx with SSB preamp.

I tried to catch the 1005 UTC pass of AO-85 this morning for data
collection. I figured with an 88 degree elevation I couldn't miss. It's
perfect for my eggbeater antenna. But, using HDSDR and Foxtelem, I only
saw about 3 or 4 short transmissions spread out over the whole pass. I
didn't decode any data.
Does AO-85 only transmit slow DUV when there are voice transmissions?
Were the short transmissions that I saw the "fast data" stream? Was
anyone on voice on AO-85 this morning?
Thanks for your help!

Steve,
Sometimes everybody sleeps in, and you will see only the periodic, short
beacons, which does include
DUV telemetry. Part of the energy management system. My station was
running while I was sleeping,
and did capture a few blocks, but I have beams, etc.
73s,
