yeah.. this past few weeks have been among the most interesting and busy times of the ISS... from a "well oiled digipeater RS0ISS" to today with SSTV NA1SS..
now atleast there is sure predictability of something being heard from space, either at 145.800 or 145.825.. makes life much more easier for public / school and VIP / Govt demo, for creating awareness of the flying space parrot, NA1SS / RS0ISS..
I know from myside, we had alot of smiles after each passing and often ending up wit black eyes into office due to lack of sleep, busy chasing the ISS at nite.. hihi..
SSTV active
During two pases SSTV signals where received S5 to S9+ on 145.800 Mhz
Smiles all round... Good job guys!!

SSTV active May 26
A few weeks ago we were all - in our own way - concerned about the inactivity of the new crew, and now they have the SSTV camera on!
I've never heard SSTV from the ISS, except when the two "space tourists" (Richard Garriot and Charles Simonyi) were on board the ISS.
So a great crew I would say! TNX
