RS0ISS

Colleagues in Peru alerted me this evening to some ISS SSTV transmissions going on at the moment.

So, with 30 minutes warning between Peru and the UK, I fired up the IC-746 connected to a SlimJim on 145.800MHz FM and waited with the kids for the station to clear the horizon.

The ISS signal came significantly early this evening, maybe 30 seconds before the predicted time.  Even so, the image that was already being transmitted as the signal appeared over the horizon was of very good quality.

The last two images are some of the best quality ones I've ever received from the ISS, and a lot of the local club members had a go, too!
