Receive SSTV from Space June 29-July 1

ARISS Russia is planning a special Slow Scan Television (SSTV) event from the International Space Station Station around 09:00 GMT on Friday, June 29 and continuing until 18:30 GMT Sunday, July 1.

Supporting this event is a computer on the ISS Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth using amateur radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM-D710E transceiver.

These images will commemorate the various satellites that were hand-deployed from the ISS.

Hi All

Looking for some help with setting the tone on a THD72 to access voice sats. I know the tone needs to be 67hz but should the icon on the display read T or CT?

Cheers

Cris

ARISS would prefer that we NOT use the recently posted repeater pair for FM
voice work.

That was a test of the Tanusha birds, and NOT an open invitation to use it as an
ISS FM Voice repeater. Something definitely went wrong with the Russians' plan
for the testing. And that downlink frequency is - well, kind of like the US' 146.520 as
it is a common terrestrial frequency in Europe.

And the 15-year-old Kenwood D-700 cannot take that amount of ops, as its fan/cooling
is not adequate for such continuous operations.
