My first good image for Series 33 (4/12). Over a discone, might explain why !

I am doing way better this go around at getting the SSTV images than I expected. Last time I had little to no luck and with bad weather had hoped for one or two at best. #hamradio #amateurradio #sstv

Two more successful @arissintl.bsky.social SSTV images today. Not much for high passes the last couple days from FM19 land but I’ll double check. Happy with the four total we received cleanly.

#hamradio #amateurradio #sstv

I won't have the time Monday or Tuesday to be in the shack, so I am going to put the radio on the omni antenna, leave it all running and let the computer play radio. You never know, it might do a better job! #ISS #SSTV

I have eleven of the twelve #ISS #SSTV images. I am now playing "Spot the duplicate." and "Is this one better than that one?"

I got a certificate! Thank you. #SSTV #ISS @arissintl.bsky.social

More #ISS #SSTV reception. Three new images on the latest pass., I have 10/12 images.

Today's setup for receiving images from the International Space Station.

I used a TV antenna that was cut in half, for it to not be very visible when it was being used as a TV antenna on a balcony XD.

It doesn't have much directivity as a consequence.

My best #SSTV receptions from @arissintl.bsky.social so far.

For the radio geeks:

Running an FT-991A with control by gpredict for Doppler correction through hamlib. Antenna is an arrow VHF/UHF.

#hamradio #amateurradio #sstv

Success with the second pass! @hcmclaughlin.bsky.social (WA0CGZ) guided the antenna for one image and then I took the other. What a blast, @arissintl.bsky.social ! I’ve worked ISS comms professionally but there’s something satisfying about doing it with your own gear.

#hamradio #amateurradio #sstv

Successful pre-test for the @arissintl.bsky.social SSTV broadcasts from the space station. Next pass will be higher and we hope to track longer and get a clear image or a couple.
