All, With the research and recent "heads up" by Mineo Wakita, JE9PEL, Allan Biddle, WA4SCA and Clint Bradford, KCLCS it appears there may be only a few weeks left to receive and experiment with ARISSat-1/RADIOSKAF-V. On Monday Nov 28 I will be set up to receive voice, CW and SSTV via the transponder on 145.930 MHz +/- doppler. This will be on the AOS starting at 14:47 Z pass over Cincinnati. This pass may be too soon after the eclipse so the sat may not be activated. If it is active, I will try to send a couple of SSTV R36 transmissions. I will be listening and looking for others to send also.
