ISS SSTV event, April 7-8 2022

Just few minutes a go, had the last pass of this SSTV event, some of the results below.

Always a fun catching #ISS with simple setup - this time FT-817 no preamp, and 3x5/8L professional Vertical, for 149MHz band, feed with 20m of RG213. Because of bad WX antenna mounted on the ground, for sure causing pattern changes, but worked FB anyway

International Space Station "Mission 64" SSTV pics upd. Dec.31.2020

No need for complicated radio stuff, just something that will receive 145.800MHz FM mode, and ANY possible antenna, not neccesary to be 2m stuff, ofc one can use WebSDR with 2m but it's more fun to catch the pics. Tried even Baofeng UVB-6 - working good at higher ISS elevation :-)  

Here some pictures better or worse received during ISS flyby last days received on FT-817 and 7ele Yagi for 50MHz with MMSSTV software. For flyby prediction free ORBITRON soft was used but there's many tracking software on the web, and also websites dedicated to it, i.e ISSTRACKER
