[GCARC] Pictures from space - 12/25 thru 12/31

[Greg Ciraula]

Jon,
Just a quick note to thank you for putting this information out to us. With the info below and the things you showed me on a tech Saturday and field day, the family and I gave SSTV a try over the last couple of days.  We had a great time and learned a few things! We had varying success but got better with each attempt. Attached is the photo we got this morning in the back yard. Pretty incredible to us. Thanks for all you do for the club and us members. Hope you have a great New Year!

The ISS will be sending SSTV transmissions from now until 12/31. Unfortunately many of these passes are in the early morning but a few relatively high passes are during times when we might actually be awake to hear them.  Here are the best times for each of the next few days. The freq is 145.800 FM and should be easily receivable with an HT on these passes. Of these I’ve marked the ones with elevation higher than 60 degrees – these are the best ones. If you want to try some others and don’t mind getting up early (sometimes REALLY early) check out https://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544 for the rest of the passes.

12/26: 10:45 AM (good pass)
12:27: 9:57 AM
12/18: 9:10 AM
12/29: 9:59 AM
12/30: 9:11 AM (best pass)
12/31: 8:23 AM (good pass)

73 and Merry Christmas de Jon WB2MNF
