I heard it about 45 minutes ago when it came over my place in Minnesota.
It was very weak and in and out of the noise. I realy couldn't make much out and tried to recieve the Slow Scan TV picture but there just wasn't
enough signal strength.
I was using an 11 element Yagi antenna and a preamp but the transmitter
is only 500 milliwats.
It hit a Max elevation last pass of 56 degrees. I'm hoping there will be some higher passes this week before the batteries wear down on the
transmitter.

I can't recall seeing a story about this on the board. This week, a surplus Russian space suit was fitted with a radio transmitter, christened Ivan
Ivanovich and pushed-off from the International Space Station. The suit will automatically transmit a recorded message, a slow-scan TV image (SSTV)
and some telemetry on 145.990 (FM). Here's the background story:

It seemed as though the project was dead but radio operators have been picking-up the signal --- although it is very weak. Here is the home page for the project:

Unfortunately for me, the orbit period brings it overhead at my location in the very early morning hours. So far I just haven't been able to muster the energy to get up that early. However, I did detect the carrier yesterday several times. Is anyone else on the board listening for it?
