ISS and the Doppler Shift- Part 1

We had a near overhead pass of the ISS on the 22nd of May. I used the signal from the Radio Repeater on the Station and Acquisition / Loss of Signal to calculate the altitude of the station, and time over distance as well as the doppler shift to calculate the speed of the station. Although this was a single measurement, no where near as accurate as a series of measurements would be, I am pleased to announce I verified the speed and altitude of the ISS within 10% of the stated values. It is clearly nearly 400 KM above the surface of the earth and moving at over 7 KM/Sec. To view the unedited (other than trimming both ends of the recording) pass of the ISS, see https://youtu.be/t6ir216FZDQ and do your own measurements if you wish. This speed was calculated as if the ISS passed directly over my antenna. It passed well South of me, as a result I have under calculated the speed. I will have a Part 2 where I show how to correct the velocity of the ISS for a non-overhead pass.
