SakhaCube-Cholbon (RS18S) Transmissions

Received the following on this mornings pass over the UK. Should have been a reasonable pass (c67Deg max ele) but signal sounded weaker and noisier than previous activations. Heard another image but no usable decode from it.

Still active in Australia. Unfortunately my pass was too “good” (high) and my discone didn’t like it. Next one is at 13:03 UTC so let’s see if I get lucky :slight_smile:

Are there any tricks to decoding it? I am feeding NFM/WFM of various bandwidths (6k - 40k) made from a recorded baseband into MMSSTV default settings.

My very first SSTV transmission that I’ve been able to decode.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone got an eQSL from sakhacube for the month of may? It’s been two months but I still haven’t received a QSL.

Which event are you referring to?
The events page doesn’t show any event for May.

It was just standard telemetry report, Andrei reached out to me for that saying he will look into it asap and that the may QSLs should have been sent already but that was three weeks ago and the status has still not changed.

I’m waiting for two event QSL cards for which I submitted the reports in May.
But I’m also waiting for QSL cards from other satellite operators for years (!) now.
