Jerry, If the battery comes out of the ISS fully charged, you will hear it OK- The solar cells will keep it in a charged up scenario. Now, I hope the day they finally decide to kick this out is a day I will be near my station.... 73, Dee

I have a mere setup for a satellite station , FM only . I would not attempt to set up a portable station for a classroom event and expect to recieve any of the downlinks We look forward to from ARISSAT . I have only downloaded 2 or 3 sstv pictures from Seeds 2 . That is with My controlled antenna and FM station . Is it so easy to receive sstv from Seeds ? I hear it and hear a good signal , but don't copy the pic very successfully . I think it will be the same power output that is from Seeds .? 500mw? I will be listening , but still have My doubts.
