More events for east Asia, Europe, India, and the eastern United States will be uploaded within the next few days.
Thanks for more SSDV downlink passes!
And while it wasn’t on the schedule (unless I’m overlooking it), this last pass over the U.S. included the SSDV downlink. Very low for me, but still fun to see.
This was not a scheduled SSDV event. I turned it on after uploaded the last few events.
Scheduling SSDV for the US Atlantic coast is difficult because our ground station is there, and we cannot command the satellite during an event. Tomorrow, the crew might investigate possible SSDV times around passes for commanding.
Could you please consider adding some SSDV times for Southeastern Europe? Any of the following START times in UTC would be perfect for my QTH in Greece.

Thank you! All of the previous pictures have presumably been of an anti-static mat taken during testing.
A bit late but here’s my first ever direct SSDV reception from SilverSat on 27th
. I know its missing a lot of packets but I’m really glad that the satellite transmitted overhead.
Antenna used is VHF QFH antenna with UHF resonance. I decoded it using @bali 's ssdv2sat script that we often used for IO-86 SSDV experiment with baud changed to 9600.
Thanks SilverSat team!
