thats the base, the rest of the pipe runs down the roof till it hits the gutter. Looks dogy but its actuly very strong. good for when you need to mount an antenna in a tight position.
theres grey spay paint remains on the other part there from when i was using it for something else

What frequencies are you talking to them on Slippy? 145.800 is the downlink frequency I see but what is the uplink for Perth...??
Im keen to fire up the Scanner

I'll be trying tomorrow morning (1709 - 1719 UTC) - elevation gets up as high as 71° here!
(Maybe good enough for the handheld.
)

err the forum went weried just then haha,
anyway if anyone else happens to make contact let us know.
There are a few passes each day, the result will vary form antenna to anntenna but yer. Mayby we should start off another topic in the pictures forum for ISS SSTV Images, who rekons we should?
