Can anyone help me with SSTV
Hi ,
Can you help, I am a disabled Amateur who loves the ISS, I am a M3 so i am on the first step of the ladder on Amateur Radio, I cant get to a club so most of my SSTV is trial and error, my ambition is to get a picture from the ISS, I have a FT-897 set to 145.800 FM, I have a 17ft 2m and 70cm vertical antenna about 30ft high, and a signalink unit that I have used to send and receive SSTV on 2m, so i know the setup is working, I also use the tracking on ISS Fan Club to tell me when the ISS is over me, If the ISS is transmitting will this setup work or have I got it totally wrong, any help or tips would be of great help to me,
Thanks for looking,
Dave

Sounds like you have all you need. Now you just have to wait until the ISS is transmitting SSTV (Which will likely be several months from now).
