The pass earlier today that should have been good, was on for 15 seconds. They must be running it on a dummy load, or no external antenna.

Hi Rick!
Normally, the ISS SSTV signals are very easy to copy. So far, this is not the case with today's SSTV transmissions. For some reason, signals are much weaker than normal. A 20-degree pass in the past hour only yielded parts of two pictures for me, where normally that could be a pass with two complete pictures with little or no interference.
I have some higher passes later this afternoon and evening; maybe those will work better. If not, I'll try and see what I can get...
73!

an
html and stock antenna. Doppler correction is really not needed. Good luck! 73Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)Saguaro Astronomy
