Clint. On a whim I thought I’d try to see if I could receive beacons from this Satellite. I finally found and imported the TLE into Gpredict so at least I can track it. I can’t seem to find it listed

Clint. Is it possible someone was attempting to TX interference from ground ?

Thanks Clint. BTY, I have ISS Detector in my Apple iPod Touch. Works. And regarding Down Freqs. I just heard it pass with several contacting it between 437.790 - .800 but it was not overhead but only

Thanks for the heads up Clint Bill

Thanks for your work Clint. I have a dumb question, but can anyone join your Zoom presentations with appropriate login & PW ? Bill

Thanks for that Info. Clint. I didn’t know that since I don’t own a smart phone, but I do have DSL. 😀

Thanks David. For Mac OS I use Black Cat SSTV. There is a free Demo. I bought the App. Website says it works for Windows too. $20.00. https://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/sstv.html Bill AF7ZA

Thanks Clint for posting the link to the Journal. A lengthy but very interesting read, particularly the “For beginners- Amateur Radio Satellite Primer (part IV)" on the characteristics of COAX. Bill A

Thanks all for your suggestions. This morning Clint’s page wouldn’t load. Just now at 5:37 PDT it loaded just fine. I can only guess electron collision. At least I didn’t let the smoke out. 73 Bill

Yes, I use Gpredict on the Mac, but was wondering about something for the ipod touch.

Ok gents, I need some help. I’ve been trying desperately to find out how to use my FTM400 connected directly to the computer to receive SSTV from the ISS. So far I’ve been using the XYL’s Logitech usb

Thx for the replies. Bummer. It worked marginal yesterday. Bill

Did anyone hear anything on this last pass ? 1811 UTC. It was only Max of 10º from my QTH @CN85 Next pass at 1946 with be Max of 66º. Hope to hear something then. Bill AF7ZA

Thanks for the update Mr. Clint. What’s your take on Eneloop NiMH Batteries ? Happy New Year Bill AF7ZA

QST did a review of the FT65. Take it from there. Some have said (can’t site the source), that the FT65 is the Baofeng version of the venerable FT60. For me, radios with flashlights are to be avoided.

Clint. I’m more inclined to think one of these young fellers is you in your younger days Hi. Bill AF7ZA

Thanks Clint. I watch the entire video and looked up many of the calls on Jimmy’s wall. Sad that nobody has commented on Bruce Howes video since 2010. I did. Bill AF7ZA

Good to hear. Had I been up on things and had known you were going to be up here, I would have attended. I’m just 25 miles N. of Portland. Sorry I missed you. Bill AF7ZA

No doubt it sucks, as did every other liquid they consumed. Can’t Pour liquid in Micro Gravity, you have to suck it out with a straw. 73 Bill AF7ZA
