Comment on SSTV from ISS - My 1st attempt - Series 23: 2024 holidays
AG7LR@lemmy.radio 2 weeks agoYou don’t need any special equipment. A baofeng or RTL-SDR will work fine. The stock antenna on a baofeng will pick up the ISS on a high elevation pass if you hold it sideways. A handheld yagi can be built from some scraps of wire and wood.

A dipole will do just fine.
And with RTL-SDR you could also receive NOAA APT and Meteor LRPT on 137MHz with the same dipole.
I keep using that damn extendable dipole for everything xD It’s very portable, fits into a pocket.
