The big picture from ISS Expedition 23 Crew

After yesterday was quiet - nothing to hear from ISS due to DATA connector problems - I received four big pictures from ISS Expedition 23 Crew today:

My setup:

RX: Commtel COM-212
ANT: Homebrewed QFH
SFT: MMSSTV and MIXW32 (as backup ;)

Thank you guys for let me receiving this. Awesome quality of the pictures!

Keep up the good work.

Hello,

I logged about 1500 qso with MixW32 so far. I was interested to see where the op were sending from. Therefore I asked my ex teammate Matthias to code a little converter that visualizes all the qso with Google Earth. Here's the result of the idea:

adi2kml




This tool converts the adi logfile into the Google Earth kml format.

Check out this little tool and give comments. Note: this tool has a little version number yet. It's like a techpreview.

Hi. Here's a little demonstation of my new homebrewed Retro-Radio Edition 2010 kit from Conrad. It's cost less than 10,- EURO.



Works fine with about 1m wire as antenna. Cracking noise by thunderstorm anywhere in germany.
