[GCARC] ARLS002 ARISS Plans Do-Over of Slow-Scan TV Transmissions over February 15 - 17 Weekend

[Jeff Comcast]

I HEARD SIGNALS FROM SPACE!!

I heard the first two passes. With just my 2M radio and my 1/4 wave ground
plane. At times the signals were down in the weeds, but some of them were
full quieting. I have installed the Robot36 app on a tablet and my phone. I
will see if they work at the next passes.

I don't know about you old timers, but I was absolutely thrilled to hear,
for the first time, signals from space!

God!, I love this hobby!

Well the transmitter is on and sending. I was able to decode images on the
two passes over the SJ area today. The next two passes don't get very high
so I am not holding out for them.  But the last two pass for today should
give some good images. The times for the chart are at 10 degrees which i
wasnt able to get a solid signal but a few seconds later it was good.  Also
the point where the signal drops out is a few seconds earlier. So check it
out chart in the last email and see if you can hear something over the next
three day
