[Fourlanders] ISS SSTV Redux

[John Kludt]

All,

Last weekends ISS SSTV event was very successful with over 5,000 images
submitted from around the world.  It was so successful that working with
Roscom  a repeat has been scheduled for this weekend.


"ARISS Russia team member Sergey Samburov, RV3DR, worked with the mission
control center flight controllers to schedule in ISS crew member time to
configure the JVC Kenwood radio to support SSTV operations in the Service
Module.  SSTV setup is expected to start around 8:45 UTC on February 15 and
conclude around 17:25 UTC on February 17.  These dates/times are
expectations and may vary."

"As a reminder, you can get the latest SSTV information on the ARISS SSTV
Blog Spot:  http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/  Once received, Images can be
posted and viewed by the public at
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php   And you can
receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting your image. See
https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/.  For simplicity, we have added a new tab
for SSTV, under general contacts, on the ARISS web site www.ariss.org"


Let's see how many images NFARL members and FourLanders can capture.  Again
the receive setup is pretty straight forward.  You'll need a 2m FM radio
capable of Rx on 145.800 MHz.  You will need a SSTV program.  If you have
nothing go with RxSSTV ( http://users.belgacom.net/hamradio/rxsstv.htm )
If you cannot go directly from you 2m rig to the computer, consider
recording it and then acoustically coupling the audio into the computer
after the contact..  Easy, free and lots of fun - it is magic to watch as
the computer turns a bunch of tones on 2m into a picture.
