Only one ISS pass for this area today, but it was a successful one!

Recording audio in the moment and decoding later is the way to go. #SSTV

@K4HCK Which antenna are you using. I don't think I've seen one before that uses wing nuts.

@kr1st it’s a Jetstream JTBM270. It’s meant to be permanently mounted on a mast, but using it handheld for RX only.

It usually lives in the attic on a tripod.

@K4HCK That's pretty cool! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for letting me know what it is.

@kr1st @K4HCK Wingnuts would be nice I guess if you wanted to remove or install those elements in the field without needing a tool... That's what I substituted for the hex nuts on the legs of my WRC tripod base.
