ISS SSTV April 2016 image 12/12 received by PE4KH at JO22NC 20160412 1606Z

Today a nice pass which fit between two stages of cooking our dinner so I recorded the audio. Again I heard no signal but then I heard the starting tones of a slowscan TV image and saw the signal meter pegged to S9++ (the maximum).

One image was received in full.

Setup for receiving:

• Yaesu FT-857D radio, audio and CAT control linked to laptop
• Linux laptop with hamlib and gpredict for controlling the doppler shift in the radio
• Audacity running to record the audio of the pass
• Decoding by playing the audio and running qsstv
