Here is an activity that some of you may be interested in checking out. Bod
sent a couple of pictures that were decoded from the ISS but I cannot pass
them through the reflector, if you want to see them, let me know and I will
email them to you directly.

Hi all,

 

Here is something fun you can do.  Listen for the SSTV signal from the ISS.
You don't have to have much to listen in.  I use my HT tuned to 145.80 MHz
and I have an app on my cell phone called Robot36.  The software is free.
Turn off the squelch, crank the volume up a bit, start the app, and hold the
cell phone next to the radio.  In the past I have recorded maybe 3 or 4
pictures (they can be saved to the phone) with varying degrees of clarity.
So give it a shot.  Then follow the instructions below.

 

73,

Charlie Sufana AJ9N

One of the ARISS mentors

Hello Everyone,

I would like to remind you that, ARISS will be supporting SSTV 
transmissions worldwide mainly in memory to cosmonauts Alexei Leonov, 
Valery Bykovsky, and Sigmund J?hn.

The event runs from Dec 28 (11:00 UTC is the setup time) until Jan 1, 
2020 (18:20 UTC when the system is scheduled for shutdown). 
Transmissions should be on the standard frequency of 145.800 MHz and in 
the PD 120 format.

To get this ARISS-SSTV award from ARISS SSTV Manger Award (S?awek 
SQ3OOK), one should receive and decode at least ONE picture in the 
session.

The quality of the received image does not have to be perfect, but good 
enough to be able to identify. The picture does not have to be full. It 
is acceptable to send just some part of the picture as well.

The award is in an electronic format (PNG). It will be sent by e-mail.

The criteria as follows must be met to obtain the Award:

Load your decoded images on the page:
www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/submit.php

If you have done it before, you don't have to do it again.
Fill in application form (link is here: https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/)

The status of your application is available at 
https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/
The full version of the award rules can be found here: 
https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/doc/2017-08-06.pdf

The deadline (for applications) is the end of the January 3th, 2020 
23:59 UTC. Diplomas will be sent by January 20th.

73, enjoy SSTV from the sky (the ISS) and Happy New Year 2020.

Armand Budzianowski, SP3QFE
Mentor ARISS.
