First try at SSTV

Just received my first SSTV pic. I saw the ISS was going to be close this morning and thought I'd give it a shot. I used the cheapo rat shack GP antenna in my attic and my old Rat shack pro-2022 with tap discriminator. Software was Mmsstv.

Not the greatest pic, but for my first try and with my horrible receive conditions I'm happy with it!!!!

Congratulations! Pretty good print, I can see you waving!

Been listening off and on today, they have been working voice as well, lots of good opportunities.

I think I just heard it real time in Indiana; anyone get this pass?

I didn't, but they have been doing SSTV for the last couple of days.

Pretty amazing pic considering all that has to go for it to work. Thanks for sharing it.

This site has an assortment of SSTV photos from the ISS when Richard Garriot was aboard.
