Done. An additional SSDV session for the US East Coast started as of this post.

Rock-solid downlink tonight as SilverSat tracked up the Atlantic Coast. Included in the stream was an API post to Twitter/x including a great Earth image from the spacecraft!

Thanks Silversat team for another broadcast over :greece:.

18:25-18:28 UTC. Yagi 7 el. Despite different reception conditions (another place and noise patterns) this one fully formed (only 9 packets image and 37 total decoded) right on the third repeat.

Can`t wait next week for more pictures from SilverSat - there will be lots of attempts)

Again many thanks to the team! Keep up the good work!

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.

Wow, thank you very much for scheduling it. Did not expect to be specifically scheduled to transmit above on my city :folded_hands:

By the way how do you scheduled that much location in one go? I once asked to make a schedule for satellite repeater activation based on location like that for a week, twice a day and I’m really overwhelmed by it.

Salute for the team :saluting_face:
