Another great write-up from Daniel Estévez - 9k6 downlink from Z-Sat! Almost, but NOT QUITE enough SNR here for a completely '0' output stream, but fun to try. destevez.net/2025/06/z-sat-…



Very busy Tevel2-3 pass w/ the FM Repeater active over the Eastern U.S. 'Some' of the audio seemed to overpower the sat's RX... David 4X1DG - should FM-narrow be used on the 2m uplink? Full audio -> dropbox.com/scl/fi/sm28lmy…


Despite low-elevation at start & end of this evening's ISS pass, the hydrasdr.com RFOne did a fine job w/ the PD120 SSTV! (demo unit appreciated! Finding no issues & loving the solid USB-C connection)





Despite a 1M dish that needs better alignment & a blanket of leaves on the trees, I finally managed to see the S-Band HamTV downlink tonight! Hope to see an image one of these days if I can improve SNR. ARISS - Amateur Radio on the ISS









Meteor-M2.4 LRPT first look here at Category-5 Hurricane Erin in the lower-right corner of the image! RX, decode, & images all via SatDump w/ the hydrasdr.com RFOne


Oh my! Best ISS HamTV S-Band signal so far. No lock in SatDump, but hopefully close enough to decode something when the leaves fall off the trees. 1-meter mesh dish w/ Kuhne downconverter to hydrasdr.com RFOne
