From ARISS_Intl:

Didn’t get enough SSTV this week? Our ARISS Chair just announced there’s more to come next weekend: For Cosmonautics Day (April 12) ARISS will be conducting an SSTV event. Starts 11-Apr & runs through the weekend. Acquire 12 PD-120 images on the 145.80 MHz downlink from ISS.

Not bad considering I got distracted and almost missed the pass.

Got the same 1st image as you then sat disappeared behind building. Better passes later so hope to get more then.

[HS318]

Got a couple of good passes coming up in the UK

[HS318]

On the last pass I received 1 image at the start of the pass and then the transmission appears to have stopped.

I left a receiver running unattended while trying to get umka-1 and orbicraft which overlapped in passes. Just checked and nothing received at all . Oh well another pass after lunch so will try again.

[HS318]

Nothing received on the last pass either.

Known issue.

The transmissions are back.

By the way, I already received my award (See HERE)

[HS318]

When a local station bangs up the power as you try to capture images from the ISS. Arghhhhh

[HS318]

much better signal this time round but its frustrating the the break in-between transmissions is so long. if they reduced I think you would get at least two more images per pass.

[pu4elt]

Well, the event is over for me (the ISS will no longer pass over Brazil before 14:30UTC).

It was a great experience to participate in this event, but there is still some randomness missing for the images to be transmitted.

[HS318]

Also over for me in the UK It was successful but I was unable to capture 2 images.

[dl7ndr]

I’ve got only 8 images.
