I took the audio out of the speaker jack and put it right into the recorder and left it to record what ever it received

Mean while Dad set out to listen for the ISS using his VX150 handheld and a SOTA 2m 3el beam, to our surprise this time it wasn’t transmitting SSTV but was being manned by one the guys on board! perhaps if I knew before hand I might have tried to get a QSO!

The audio file will be here soon!

After about 6 minutes the pass was over but we had a blast receiving :-) We then caught a later pass around at around 13:48 this time round it was SSTV so after the audio was recorded we fed the audio back into Dads laptop and using HRDs DM780 SSTV decoder we got the following two pictures.

I was lucky enough to be able to hear the ISS on 145.800 for most of the pass using the FT7800 and a V2000 vertical.

You can listen to the audio file ISS%20Edited.mp3 I have removed all the excess noise too, the next thing I’m wanting to do is receive the SSTV picture hopefully tomorrow if I’m lucky!
