No problem, ARISS normally give notice of these SSTV transmissions on social media and their website so always worth a look to see what they have got planned though sometimes their plans can change quickly depending on operational activities being carried out by the ISS crew or spacecraft arriving and leaving which can involve the Amateur radio equipment being turned off to allow these things to happen

@@TRIPPLEJAY00 rtl_433 is open source and comes with most Linux distros, I have since swapped the SDR over to the SDRPlay RSP1B which has wider coverage though doesn't work with rtl_433, all is sort of ok at this end but I am still of course struggling with the aftermath of the accident and also stuck waiting for the next course of action from the police, maybe next week I will hear something, maybe not, these things take too much time

The tin made me giggle too 😁

@@M6JKW Yeah, doing as best I can given the situation, it will get better in time though

Yeah, had this particular SDR a number of years, I also bought the SDRPlay RSP1B from the National Hamfest but I have yet to set that up properly with that computer

I need to if I am being honest to keep my mind off the accident, fortunately I am getting help to deal with the mental issues from the accident so that I can cope somewhat, spent a lot of time playing games on the phone as well but I have to take a break from that too as that isn't going to do me any good

@@swlradioman just needs the rtl-sdr and an antenna connected to it and the welle.io software which does run on Windows as well as Linux, hope that helps

@@PaulMcGeeM0WNU Thanks !

@@deenunya7735 I can't disclose anything further while the police are investigating the matter which includes checking my car to make sure it has no major faults that could have contributed to the accident which is unlikely because it passed an MOT in July and was stood for a while before I got it back

@@M6JKW yeah, a horrible one as well, I did put a post up about it which I guess you haven't seen, I can't say too much about the accident except to those that need to know about the full details, I have been signed off on the sick for a month but I do not see me recovering from it for a very long time

Hi Paul, glad your keeping yourself going! All the best mate.

what should be considered here is this antenna is from a Chinese outlet and with those outlets the case is always buyer beware, this antenna has since had an adjustment made to it so it will work on 27 MHz and thus possibly 10-metres as well, the continuity check is more of a sanity check because again this is a Chinese product and who knows what they used in it, since this video was made, which was some time ago now, I've explored the thing much further but have yet to do any major follow-ups on it, which right now is somewhat difficult due to the circumstances I am in right now

@@EveryUserName possibly, I did change a couple of settings on my phone's portable hotspot

Laptop was £140 from Cash Converters and I have been working almost ever since I got the car back
