But I did finally get one complete image with the 4 am pass this morning (a lot of noise on the signal): I was using an Yaesu FT-897 transceiver with a Comet GP-3 dual band antenna mounted on a 10 foot pole. It is surrounded by trees and really doesn't have a clear view of the sky. A friend of mine just sent me a couple of the images he received - beautiful, perfect copy. But he was using a yagi antenna aimed at the ISS. I just looked you up on QRZ and read your bio. I see you are a Technician. Time to study and upgrade to a General class so you can get on HF and send some SSTV pictures yourself. I was wondering if you have heard of AllStar Link? See following link: AllStar Link Raspberry PI Node The second link describes the use of the small BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi computers instead of a full size computer. There's a group of us that have put nodes on the air that covers the Philadelphia to the South Jersey area. My node at home covers about five miles around my house when using a HT and about ten miles if using a mobile rig. Glad you are enjoying the SDR Web Receivers. They are a lot of fun to use. 73, WD9EQD Bill Smithville, NJ |
