At the moment I've been receiving the SSTV and voice signals from the
ISS with a homebrew omni on a pole in my back garden. I don't really
have the room to put up a tower, and since the house is rented I suspect
the landlord would have some pithy words to say about digging up a chunk
of the garden and pouring a plinth.
How well would an aerial with a cardioid pattern such as an HB9CV work?
Since the ISS is never much above 30 degrees this far north (IO75) I
doubt I'd need to worry about elevation.
How well would just adding a 144MHz preamp to the omni work?
How have other people solved this, without recourse to big rotators and
things?

Nothing heard on the 0834UTC pass.
Both recordings are available from:
http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/pass1.ogg
http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/pass2.ogg
Not that they're terribly interesting. I'll make the whole lot
available once I've had a chance to sort them all out. I'm really
annoyed I missed the "last" pass yesterday - apparently there was some
voice traffic over the UK.
Just as a bit of background to how I'm doing this, I have my Trio TR7730
and homebrew omni at home, with the speaker output hooked up to a laptop
which I can connect to remotely. I can then ssh in and tell the laptop
to wait for a while then start recording, based on the time-to-AOS from
gpredict.
So, for instance, if I look at gpredict I see "ARISS AOS in 1:15:xx". I
connect to the laptop and type in "sleep 75m; arecord -r22050 -f S16_LE
-d 600 pass3.wav" and then leave it. Once the pass is finished, I
encode the .wav file, upload it to my server, and then grab it from work
where I can sit and listen ;-)
Unfortunately I can't tune the transceiver to compensate for Doppler,
and in a couple of the recordings you can hear this. It seems to be
worse as the ISS goes away, I haven't worked out why this would be yet.
My plan is to automate the recording by working out the passes and
having it kick off the recorder. Now since the transceiver has "UP" and
"DOWN" buttons on the microphone, I could probably tell it to tune up
and down 5kHz by toggling pins with the printer port.
Anyway, considering how simple the equipment to receive the SSTV and
voice signals from the ISS can be, I'm quite pleased with my results. I
can't wait until they do some more!

Greetings AMSAT-BB:
The ARISS SSTV web pages are back up at the
http://ariss-sstv.ssl.berkeley.edu/SSTV/ site. We've been able to do
some testing, but please let me know if you experience any difficulties.
Once again, my apologies for the outage! It appears to be a tribute to
the interest in Richard Garriott's ham radio activity on board the ISS.
73,
Will

Hi Gordon,
I have used a Lindenblad mounted on a pole just 2 meters high
along with an ARR Mast-mount preamp and this works darn well.
For receiving the ISS and linear mode B satellites, you don't
really need a preamp but it will make a difference receiving
the packet satellites on 145.825 MHz.
It is also a good TX antenna for mode J satellites.
The Lindenblad (from QST) is here:
http://www.arrl.org/qst/2007/08/monteiro.pdf
The ARR Preamp is here:
http://www.advancedreceiver.com/page10.html
Best of luck and 73,
Tony AA2TX

I could also (just at the end of the pass when Doppler was making it
sound a bit "detuned") hear Richard talking to ON6HN

Hi Folks, just got a pic from the ISS. It was not a very good pic but still
a pic. I was wondering how many watts the ISS station is using and what kind
of antenna they have. Anyone know where I can find this information?
Hopefully they will let the SSTV Station run automatically so we will still
have it even after the Space Tourist leaves. Its been fun.

The D700 typically operates at 5 or 10 watts. It feeds into a linear antenna
on the aft end of the Zvezda service module. Info on the antennas is available
at http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/reference/radio/antennas.html .
Additional operation of the SSTV system is planned but it will be more
infrequent until a fully unattended operation is in place.

Hi folks, getting pics but there not comin in good.even with a 87 degree
pass Maybe they could turn it up to 10 watts instead of the five.
But probley getting ready to tear down anyway so maybe were outa luck.
Anyone else getting good pics?
