FRAM to HAM SSTV from space #SSTV #UHF


 

I checked with the FRAM 2 discourse chat group and they did have some success with the ham SSTV.
A 70cm (440) beam was needed to get copy. They said this in the initial instructions and they were right.
Unfortunately, the wx here in MN wasn't fun for standing outside holding antennae.

I've been listening on a vertical antenna on 437.550 and haven't heard anything yet.
Anyone else? They are only running 5W as I understand it so a Yagi beam pointed at the Dragon spacecraft might be needed.

I use SpaceX's on line tracking page.

The FRAM mission scheduled to launch this evening will be hosting some receive only amateur radio SSTV events on 437.550 MHz.
They will have a polar orbit - very unusual!
