Captured a partial SSTV image from UmKA-1 (RS40S). All kinds of cool stuff floating in the ether if you know where to look.

SSTV Event Upcoming!

Just in time for the holidays and New Year, we're planning an SSTV event from December 25 to January 5. Celebrate with us with some great memories of ARISS 2024 in this series.

It all starts 1 week from today. Watch for updates as the start time gets close.
SSTV event is scheduled from December 25, 2024, to January 5, 2025. It will use the Service Module Radio, a call sign of RSØISS, a frequency of 145.800 MHz, and PD120 mode. The theme is ARISS 2024, with a start time of 14:55 UTC and an end time of 14:20 UTC. Send decoded images to ARISS for awards.

No matter how often I do it, there is still something incredible about sending and receiving signals to and from an object that is 257 miles above me moving at 17,147 mph. I love amateur radio! #ARISS
