Vizard Meteo (RS38S) SSTV transmissions

Look4Sat showing 76.7deg at my QTH for the 10:12 pass tomorrow but that pass is also the ‘right’ side of my building with a clearer view of the sky. 21:18 tonight is possible (57.9deg) but more obstructions in the skyline on that pass.

Similar results for me but at least I finally got an image. Heard 3 images - no decode on first, reasonable 2nd and very noisy partial on the 3rd. The latter two corresponding to Daniel’s two images. Here the best of the three.

I’m interested to know what equipment / antenna were all using? mine is very simple SDR receiver with a home build QHF antenna

It depends a little on which side of the building the pass is. This image was with a Quanshang handheld with a Diamond RH771 whip antenna, recorded on mobile phone held next to speaker then transferred to laptop for processing with MMSSTV. Other times I have a homebrew 2/70 dipole stuck out of the window with a Yaesu FT991 connected to the laptop via USB.

ARISS SSTV Award.

Did you notice that both ARISS Chairs are not listed on the ARISS award?

Is it because a non-IARU-coordinated satellite sends the images?

By the way, do you expect to receive the Russia ISS SSTV Diploma while it has not yet been issued for 2025-07-14~20?

Just built and installed this antenna for 435Mhz, tested it and got an SWR of 1.3 so very pleased with the result. https://vk6ysf.com/435MHz_Ground_Plane_Antenna.htm

Thanks Ill find out later how will it performs

The elevation was about 54 degrees so I’m please with the results as Vizard Meteo has always been difficult for me to get a good signal from.
