Another ISS SSTV experiment upcoming for Christmas 2024.
Jomjom79
confirming.
Got Award.
No clear view of the ISS from my hotel in Mandalay, north Myanmar. The country is in a civil war, so despite my concern that my activities might be misunderstood, I went out into the street with my laptop, Airspy+ and 3-element Arrow antenna, and managed to get a good image!

Best one yet. In the car with a Diamond MR77. Max 9° elevation. Last part of signal was lost as the station dipped behind a mountain.

I’ve also scheduled a couple of observations for UHF, let’s see how long it will remain online.
“All for SSTV for ISS
The crew said that he accidentally switched the radio station to the automatic mode (this is the frequency of 437.55)
Five minutes ago, he restored the frequency of 145.8
