[nrv-hams] Slow-Scan TV Transmissions from ISS December 1 - 2

[Cam Coble]

Two things have to happen to work the images:
- Receive the signal
- Decode the signal
For reception of the signal, any 2 meter FM receiver will do. The frequency
to listen to is  145.800 MHz.
A normal antenna may, or may not work due to the target being above your
head. I've had success with an HT, orienting it sideways to the trajectory
of the satellite pass.
To decode, it's as easy as holding a smartphone running the applicable
software next to the receiver speaker as it is heard, or recording the
sound for later decoding somewhere else.
For the smartphone application, just look for SSTV Decoder in your favorite
app store.

Unfortunately, it looks as if the reset of the transmissions were cancelled
from the ISS, so you'll have to wait until next time.
73!
