Seems like there is an issue with TX on 1212Z pass over UK. Heard about 1 sec start of SSTV which cut off immediately, a couple of minutes of dead air, then a continuous SSTV signal that didn’t produce a decodeable image (just shows as white noise on MMSSTV).
Second image started just as I lost signal so not sure if that completed successfully.
Thanks Daniel @dl7ndr - I’ll go for my run and try again on the later pass - 2 more possible this afternoon.
Only got a partial white image here at my QTH.
I was tempted to drive to higher elevations to get clear of the mountains to the south but the first autumn storm “Amy” hit Norway a couple of hours ago and i am now experiencing gusts of wind up to 30m/sec. Ill stay indoors…

Got the same 1st image as Daniel and a partial of the second as it dipped behind buildings and below the horizon. Won’t bother posting images here as Daniel’s are better (and complete)
Interesting fact
In addition to the initial transmission issue, there is also a discrepancy between the times published by RV3DR and those recently published on the ARISS Twitter/X account HERE (Nitter HERE )
Images so far -
I also had the white image but it was blocked out at the start by local repeater interference.
Strangely, there was a background voice at some points during the transmission (Several Brazilian operators also heard this voice )
Excerpt from the audio recording I made : HERE
SatNOGS Network - Observation 12496081
Adding to the pile. Unsure of the number on this one.
Yes I heard that voice too on passes over the UK. Assumed it was local qrm at first but heard on at least 2 of the passes yesterday. Will see if it’s still there later today.
Also quite a few messages about it on the AMSAT mailing list - some suggest it’s the location of the ISS (city read phonetically?) but no-one seems to have been able to get a clear extract of the audio from the SSTV signal (yet).
Got those voices, too.
Here is one from 2025-10-03 15:30:19 UTC.
2025-10-03 15:30:19 viertel nach vier.wav.zip (568.8 KB)
(Just remove the suffix .zip).
At the end I can clearly hear “viertel nach vier”, German for “quarter past four”.
You can also hear it in this observation: SatNOGS Network - Observation 12493896
at 2:28.
And during the following image at 15:34:20 UTC:
2025-10-03 15:34:20 16 Uhr.wav.zip (414.2 KB)
I hear something and then “16 Uhr” (4 pm).
This is repeated 2 times in 30 second intervals.
It could also be 17 instead of 16. Then it would make more sense regarding the prior voice (16:15).
Discussion about it on the AMSAT-BB.
And my latest from 2025-10-04 09:54:32 UTC with the same announcement.
2025-10-04 09:54:32 Handwerk 17 Uhr.wav.zip (268.7 KB)
It sounds like “Handwerk” (handcraft), but I’m not sure.
Again about the voices.
2025-10-04
13:07:32 … “London”
13:08:02 ?
13:08:32 “Olmanje”
13:09:02 “Olmanje”
2025-10-04 13:08:32 Olmanje.wav.zip (170.5 KB)

My award just arrived
