Capture Date Time(s) (UTC) Callsign/Name Notes
06/08/2021 13:14 2E0UMS Only caught the end. Captured on RSP-1A using MMSSTV through a QFH antenna
06/08/2021 14:54 2E0UMS Nice capture
06/08/2021 16:38 2E0UMS Had to reprocess from audio, desynced when live, fine when reprocessed.
06/08/2021 - M7TWS First attempt at ISS SSTV reception. Captured using the Robot36 app.
06/08/2021 - M7TWS Second experiment using my DIY interface and MMSSTV.
06/08/2021 - M7TWS Unexpected additional pass, due to time errors, managed a partial receive but fast fading.
07/08/2021 12:36 2E0UMS Faded out
07/08/2021 12:41 2E0UMS Few noise bands
07/08/2021 14:14 2E0UMS Nice capture from a high elevation pass
07/08/2021 15:47 2E0UMS Faded out
07/08/2021 17:17 2E0UMS Just caught the end of a frame on AOS
07/08/2021 17:19 2E0UMS Low pass but not awful
07/08/2021 17:23 2E0UMS Faded out as it was very low at this point
07/08/2021 17:23 MM3IIG Honestly, damn near perfect. A *slight* Doppler error
07/08/2021 - M7TWS First attempt of the day while operating /A, not a bad result, but a little lossy.
07/08/2021 - M7TWS Second attempt, a near perfect capture, we can see the Doppler effect along the top and bottom left corners.

07/02/2022 12:25 2E0UMS ISS appeared at the horizon just after starting this image, never above 7 degrees elevation
07/02/2022 12:29 2E0UMS Lots of QSB and possible aircraft interference on this image.

08/02/2022 11:36 2E0UMS Again, just caught it at AOS.
08/02/2022 11:40 2E0UMS Best capture of the pass but low and noisy when overhead

12/04/2022 13:27 M0SMU My best ever capture. QFH in the back garden
12/04/2022 15:03 M0SMU Not quite as good as the first image. QFH in the back garden
13/04/2022 09:21 M0SMU Image as the ISS came up over the horizon, hence noisy at the start. QFH in the back garden
13/04/2022 11:02 M0SMU Once more with feeling, just that noise bar, grrrrr. QFH in the back garden
