Hello Andy,I had a good signal from ISS in the last low el. pass inrange of
Holland.Also the signal sounded very clear but for somereason my image is a
bit distorted.I used a FT897 (9 el tonna X yagi H/V lin.) HRD DM780.Anyway I
am happy with it because this is the firstISS SSTV image which I received.Good
luck to others!73's Cor PD0RKCHam Radio In Space: http://iss.ontwikkel.nl>Cor,

K8KFJ wrote that he disagreed with my statement that there is not a great deal
of interest in CW on the HF bands.
I had my first CW QSO 56 years ago last week on Oct 9th (1952). My log shows
99 % of my activity is CW until I got back on the satellites. My perspective
and observation is a long one when measured in time. I do not know how many
QSOs I have had over the years but it certainly exceeds 100,000. I have had
40,000 using my call in the last 20 years based upon my logs. I used to call
CQ on Forty Meter CW and get answers within a minute or two. Now I call for 10
minutes or more and get no answers. Oh YES, you are correct Garie (K8KFJ),
there are Contests on the weekends on CW. I have held contest records myself
and participated in DX contests from both sides of the pile up (on CW of
course). Once in awhile I ask one of the contestants a question at the same
speed they are using. They struggle or ignore the question. Using a computer
to send CQ and a call on CW and to log the station is not CW activity in my
opinion. That type of operating is the usual manner in CW contests thes!
e days. My comment referred to carrying on a conversation (having a QSO not a
contest contact). CW contests on weekends really are no substitute for a CW
QSO.
Garie, I am currently a member of a CW group ( for 38 years) . I have been a
member of other CW groups too. I stand by my statement that there is little
interest in CW on HF. Years ago when I reached 50 (I am now 70) I started to
record the age of the guy on the other end of the QSO in my log. I usually
give my age and there is a response in kind. I have continued that habit of
recording the age in my paper log (now kept in thick binders). Most of the
time (even now) the other person's age is usually more than mine and I am 70.
That is some hard evidence in the apathy towards CW.The FCC further maligned
the art of CW when they dispensed with even a paucity of CW skill for
obtaining a license.
The ARRL in their annual Field Day activity ( the most popular operating event
by their own claim ) had to go to the position of giving twice the amount of
points for a CW contact during Field Day.
My experience has been the increased absence of CW QSOs; the inability of
those that do operate to use a paddle and converse rather than relying upon a
computer ; the FCC's dumbing down of the standards for obtaining a license and
finally the ARRL's catalyst of doubling the points for a CW contact during
Field Day. In the aggregate, in my opinion, that is pretty good evidence of
the lack of interest in the art of CW. Just my two cents. Some may disagree.

I have just uploaded my QRN-full image onto the ARISS gallery. Note that it
will not accept a high resolution jpeg so I set my jpeg to medium and it
uploaded ok.
MMSSTV reported reception at 1656z. Cor PD0RKC reported 1656z too but his
image said 1652z; my image too obscure due to QRN.

3 images received in VT. First was Robot 36 (1813z), and the next 2 (1814z
and 1816z) were Martin 1.

The ISS just passed over the Western US but no SSTV!!!
Steve .. AI7W
ps. The announcement I read said they would be sending
sstv from 18:00 to 21:00 utc. I guess they started
early.

Got one Martin 1 through a very narrow pass. About half the available pass
was a carrier, good to netting the frequency, and the rest, except for the
inevitable 360 degree swing of my antennas, was as clear as any I have
received. Much easier than AO-51!
Looks like fun ahead.

Steve,
Haven't checked the pass exactly, but the period of carrier I heard was
probably your window. Bummer! SSTV switched on roughly north of Nashville,
TN. Well worth the wait!

I will try to post all of my images at the link below as I receive them. I
have 2 receiving locations, both of which can be remotely accessed to
