I worked graveyard shift, so had it on auopilot. But all I am getting is a screen of static.. Antenna is tracking fine. 145.800 FM Using MMSSTV. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong ? Is it transmitting over the east coast of the US?

What do you hear when you listen to it? SSTV is easily recognisable by ar.

OK .. I Stayed awake ( worked graveyard shift last nite ) listened and use HRD to track and Was using bad sat defs .. I changed the file used and updated that one And it matches my other tracking software. I showed ISS Due north of FN23 at 2011 UTC And will be Due south at 2148 UTC I heard nothing on the 2011 UTC Pass . Could they have stopped transmitting as it is getting darker outside here now?

The VCH1 runs on Batteries:
The VCH1 Communicator is a microphone with a camera, that plugs into the Kenwood TM-D700 transceiver. The camera requires four (4) AA batteries.
Without batteries the camera will not run.
The VCH1 will consume a full set of 4-batteries in 4-8 hours..

Yes, it has been described as a "demented monster canary", which is a rather accurate description of the SSTV sounds. ;) Best way to find out is install some SSTV software (MMSSTV is good and free), and "transmit" SSTV using your speakers. :)
