ISS SSTV MAI-75 image 9\/12 received by Chertsey Radio Club<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Chertsey Radio Club<\/a><\/strong> demonstrated that you can receive pictures from Space using simple low-cost equipment such a Baofeng VHF handheld radio and a Lynx-7 Tablet.<\/p>\n

On Monday, August 15, 2016 radio amateurs from Japan<\/a>, India<\/a> and countries as far west as Brazil<\/a> successfully copied Slow Scan Television images transmitted on 145.800 MHz FM from the Russian amateur radio station located in the ISS Service Module.<\/p>\n

The Russian Cosmonauts were using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver thought to be running about 25 watts output. It gave a good signal which could easily by copied on VHF handheld transceivers such as the popular Baofengs.<\/p>\n

It expected there will be further SSTV transmissions on Tuesday, August 16. The ISS transmits 5 kHz deviation FM, if your transceiver has selectable FM filters you should select the wider filter for best results.<\/p>\n
