I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
No luck on ISS SSTV, but NOAA 17 looks nice
I tried to record the pass of the ISS as it came over, but I heard nary a peep (or beep) from it as it went over. Annoyed, I did a quick search, and found that the NOAA 17 satellite was just coming up. I retuned and hand tracked that, yielding the following rather nice image:

Nice image Mark.
For NOAA 15,17, +18 image capture, I use the”Poes-Weather” APT program.
Ant: GP-15 vertical Rig: ic-746
What is your setup for these captures?

Here are a few HF “Ute” freqs(all usb,+- hz): 4.3442, 4.316, 8.6805,11.0882

Enjoy your site. 73 Eric n6spp

I use the simplest setup imaginable: an old radio shack Pro-60 scanner set in WFM mode, and my Arrow antenna, which I track by hand. The software I use is a little gadget that I wrote myself.
I have done a tiny bit of WX-FAX, see for instance this blog post.

Good looking results for a spur of the moment thing.
