Problem receiving the ISS on 148.500

Robert Mayo — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:02:12 +0000

I have an AR 109 handheld scanner set to 148.500 with a 2 metre HB9CV antenna but have been unable to pick up any signals from the ISS after listening on many passes. Can anyone advise me on what to do to fix this.

HamTv .... news september 2018 !

HamTV updates at a glance; long times come for every spatial planning.

In the meantime, the design of HamTV2 has begun, with a higher resolution and a modular constructive approach so that any repairs to the essential parts take place in orbit without having to report the TX on the ground.

long time ...hi !

TI3IES — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 21:31:36 +0000

Some days ago I´ve seen an alert of problem of invalid certificate of this site. Then I made clic on "continue" and this site "https:// www . alain . nyc" appears and shows nothing.

There is a problem with the servers or something?

I just open ISS Fan Club from a proxy site, is the only way to see all new info.

SSTV trasmissions continue by ISS !!!

IW2BSF — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 10:11:59 +0000

SSTV transmissions continue.....

SSTV transmissions from the Russian Service module on the International Space Station started June 29 on 145.800 MHz FM and they are still continuing

There may well be further transmissions up until July 13 when the equipment being used for the SSTV will be required for a school contact.

collegue G7HCE in Exeter noted that some adjustments have been made by the cosmonauts and the images are now being sent uncropped. For the first week the edges of the pictures were missing.

SSTV Image Question

n8gbu — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 22:39:42 +0000

In the recent SSTV activities I have an image with a somewhat small satellite on the left side upper corner. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what satellite that was? I thought maybe it was a ham radio satellite.

29 to 1 July 2018 an SSTV Event by ISS !!

IW2BSF — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 14:13:22 +0000

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.

Do NOT Use that "new" ISS Repeater

K6LCS — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 21:57:03 +0000

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.
