Hello everyone.

Sometime around 5-Feb-2019, there was an appeal from the Project Team 
running the MarconISSta spectrum analyzer experiment on the ISS for Amateurs 
to transmit on 70cm when the ISS was visible.  The reason for this was 
because apparently the experiment was going to be powered off in just a few 
days.

Along with a lot of other folks world-wide, I chose a frequency not 
"claimed" by anyone else nor close to other cubesats & transmitted a 
constant tone (FM) with a periodic 1200 baud packet ID through several 
passes of the ISS during the period requested.

Thanks to a tweet from IW1DTU (I believe correct call sign),

... I was alerted to the fact that there were result graphs online from the 
MarconISSta project.

Using the dates, times, & frequency that I had transmitted, I'm pretty sure 
that I found myself on a couple of the waterfall graphs.  Nothing surprising 
or particularly unique here, but I thought it was pretty neat to match up my 
transmission to their results.

Here is a tweet I posted on this with an image showing "me".
