    I am quite happy to receive this picture from Amateur Radio on International Space Station using my homebrew Delta Loop VHF antenna just now. One of the best pictures I have decoded ever with my setup! In case you wish to have a look at the antenna, it is here: . It was a 75 degree pass.

    Very nice Jon! I've yet to receive SSTV from ISS. I don't have a 2 mtr radio! ;)

    Namaste and 73!

    You can get a quansheng from alibaba for 20 bucks. I bought three and tossed them all over the house. It’s the dual band ht and will work fine with a good rx antenna and a sat tracking program.

    Heard that many are using it for HF after a firmware update!

    Thanks for the heads up! I didn't watch the video, but looked up the info on the ARISS site.
    Last time I DL SSTV from the ISS the theme was Russian spacecraft.

    I was able to copy a few strong 6m stations during the nightly net on it. I think the upper HF coverage is for RX only. The band scope is my favorite addition. And the Db signal meter.
