WSPR and SSTV monitoring station. This @SDRplay station uses an RSPdx tuner to monitor 20 m WSPR (14.0956 MHz) and 20 m SSTV (14.230 MHz) fed by an MLA-30+ loop antenna. Software: SDRuno, JTDX, RX-SSTV. Network Time Synchronization keeps the system clock in sync via NTP.

All set for the overnight passes of the ISS and the @arissintl.bsky.social SSTV event on 145.800 MHz, PD120 mode. Tracking in SatNogs. Turnstile antenna. Tuning in SDRuno. Decoding in RX-SSTV.

Fire up the SSTV gear ...
the ISS SSTV is a "go". Details in image below.
Set your SDR.receiver to 145.800, and leave it running around the clock for MM-SSTV or RX-SSTV to decode.
Starts 5:20 AM PDT Friday but we (here in Vancouver) don't get a pass until later. Anticipated pass lineup is here.

Multimedia evening with the amateur radio satellites. T.Microsat-1 transmitting a few intro notes from Beethoven"s Ode to Joy, and Galapagos-UTE-SWSU transmitting SSTV images of the famous islands.
Using a TV Yagi antenna, Skyroof software, SDRplay RSPdx tuner, Audacity, RX-SSTV.

Well then!
Firstly, nice to get a UT SSTV station while I was waiting... nicer still to get F5RRS as my first SSB satellite QSO through RS-44.
It worked!
Ft818 rx on the uhf vertical. 991a tx with 5 elements vhf.
Colour me surprised!
Erm...
Boom i guess.. tiny trophy for me!

Managed a little SSTV decoding action from UmKA-1, last night, and this morning, as the cubesat passed over Metro Vancouver. Used a TV Yagi aimed south. No tracking. Capture through SkyRoof, decoding in MM-SSTV (RX-SSTV did not trigger).
