MarconISSta spectrum analyzer experiment results
Hello everyone.
Sometime around 5-Feb-2019, there was an appeal from the Project Team running the MarconISSta spectrum analyzer experiment on the ISS for Amateurs to transmit on 70cm when the ISS was visible. The reason for this was because apparently the experiment was going to be powered off in just a few days.

Along with a lot of other folks world-wide, I chose a frequency not "claimed" by anyone else nor close to other cubesats & transmitted a constant tone (FM) with a periodic 1200 baud packet ID through several passes of the ISS during the period requested.
Thanks to a tweet from IW1DTU (I believe correct call sign),

... I was alerted to the fact that there were result graphs online from the MarconISSta project.

Using the dates, times, & frequency that I had transmitted, I'm pretty sure that I found myself on a couple of the waterfall graphs. Nothing surprising or particularly unique here, but I thought it was pretty neat to match up my transmission to their results.
Here is a tweet I posted on this with an image showing "me".
