[TVARC] SSTV from ISS

[Paul Nittel]

Thanks, Ed, for the heads up. I downloaded Robot36 and headed to the 
backyard for a pass 19 minutes past noon. My Baofeng UV-82 had no 
problem receiving the signal--which was very solid--and the app decoded 
the picture as advertised.

The golfers on Destin never looked up to see what I was doing!

I attached a screenshot from the phone. That's more interesting than 
just the picture.

73,

Requires nothing more than a good HT or scanner (FM) receiving on 145.800 with either an iPhone with Black Cat SSTV app or an android phone or tablet running Robot36, with the device mic held near the HT speaker. For Windows, MMSSTV works quite well. Small 2 meter beam will work well, even without elevation.
