ISS SSTV image 1 received by Murray Hely ZL3MH January 31, 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The ARISS Russia team is making plans to support a couple of Slow Scan TV (SSTV) events in the next few months on 145.800 MHz FM.<\/p>\n

The first session is being targeted for Dec 26-27 (subject to change) to celebrate 15 years of ARISS school contacts with the ISS crew.<\/p>\n

The down link mode will be PD120 which should allow for the opportunity to receive more images in a single pass. Watch for updates and additional information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n

The ISS puts out a strong signal on 145.800 MHz FM and a 2m handheld with a 1\/4 wave antenna will be enough to receive it. The FM transmission uses 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of the world.\u00a0 In IARU Region 1 (British Isles, Europe, Africa) FM equipment is usually set by default to the narrower 2.5 kHz deviation.<\/p>\n

Many FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM filters. For best results you should select the filter for wider deviation FM. Handhelds all seem to have a single wide filter fitted as standard.<\/p>\n
