Hixter Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I noticed that the International Space Station would pass overhead a few times yesterday, so I tuned my scanner to 145.8 MHz and connected the audio output to my PC's sound card input. I ran a freeware Slow Scan Television (SSTV) decoder and received a few commie images like the one below. It takes 3 minutes to transmit/receive the image. It's essentially a fax sent via radio, instead of telephone lines. Anyone with access to a scanner or radio that can tune to 145.8 MHz can do the same thing if there are ISS passes overhead.

Albert Tatlock Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yesterday was National Cosmonaut Day. We toasted Yuri Gagarin, a hero of my late father in law. In case you did not realise, that is him above. Nice that they did that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 He may have been the first human to journey into outer space...but he was still a commie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
