Heard ARISSAT-1 on two passes
Allen N5AFV had just finished a talk on ARISSAT-1 for the Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club here in SW Houston... Bruce KK5DO, Charlie K5ENG, and a few others headed outside to listen for the ARISSAT-1 tests from the ISS. We heard it on a 7-deg el pass using his TH-D72 HT. On the next pass, I was listening from home, but just wasn't quick enough to catch the SSTV signal in it's entirity. However, you can see what I did manage to capture with my TH-D7A and VC-H1 at 0450Z at http://www.w5acm.net/110211_004014.jpg
Looking forward to R-28 on Feb 16th!

Nothing heard from ARISSAT-1 on the last two passes. I presume it is now switched off.

Hi Alan, all
Same here, nothing heard on the 00:43UTC pass over Europe earlier today. I did however see APRS on the waterfall display - not sure if it was a local station or the ISS, it was mid pass so could have been either (zero doppler) If it was the ISS then I assume the external antenna has already at that stage been reconnected back to the onboard ISS 2m radio.
