[amsat-bb] ISS SSTV

[Andy Kellner]

Yes, sorry 2 min on / 2 min off. My bad ;-) Yes, I was surprised how strong the signal was. Must be using more power than usual.

Andreas, I thought it was 2 minutes on/off? The format is PD120 which is 120
seconds.

The first image I received started only a few seconds after AOS and was
surprisingly strong.

Received 2 beautiful clear pictures (12/12 and 1/12)  from ISS SSTV on a 62
degree pass over east coast Australia. Very strong signal .. never heard the
ISS that strong ? 

Transmitting in the typical 3 min on / 3 min off schedule.  Does anybody
know if they issue certificates again on this SSTV cycle ?

 

Thanks,
