This week-end weather was fine (altough a bit cloudy), but previous one was rainy and humid all the way. One of those couple days you're forced to stay home, like a prisonner. When things seem to go completely wrong, what you have to do is to completely reverse your perspective. So, I told myself that if below clouds I had no joy, to find some it was necessary to chase something in the heavens above. Launched "Orbitron", checked "ARISSat-1/KEDR" tracking for my area, and was lucky enough to have a good pass within minutes. I tried to get this bird when it was still in its "high power" days, soon after deployment, but it didn't awarded me so much satisfaciton in terms of signal quality. Anyways, I made as if it didn't happen, and decided to play it funny this time, with my newly arrived Baofeng UV-3R bi-band HT. At AOS, ran out (and luckily enough rain wasn't falling in that very moment), aimed the rubber bi-band antenna I got at a recent fair (forget the "dedicated" antennas the HT comes with, or sooner or later, forgetting you're on the band opposite to the aerial you have on, you'll burn your radio), and Baofeng's DSP did the trick you can check below. This time, considering my very basic set-up (and the really low power from up there), I was satisfied. I already sent my ARISSat-1/KEDR reception certificate request, and who knows if I'll get one. Matter of fact is that you can still receive the ISS deployed satellite with a minimal rig. Don't miss your pass!
