Given that the image is blurred, does it still revealing useful info?

Not a peep from them on the last pass over Alberta.

That I don’t have that number image in my collection. 
And, nothing heard this last pass west of em12jw. YMMV

But the last pass very poor SNR in Madrid Spain. No chance to get a readable image

Strong signal from Fram2ham in the last pass 5 minutes ago over Madrid Spain, but the first half of the pass only a strong carrier without modulation. I have received 6 images.

Again, no signals heard over Australia… I’m guessing either the crew was asleep, or Australia was left out of this one.

I think its due to the Crew sleeping, I’ve only been receiving images in the morning and nothing in the evening.
Days 1 and 2 followed the same general schedule of operation. North America in the evening, Europe in the morning. Today, the NA pass activation was sadly cancelled, per ARISS. Europe should still have a chance to receive images tomorrow morning.
The observation of “it’s off while they’re asleep” is right. Apparently it was keeping the astronauts awake at night. Lol.
Appreciate the cognizance of the competition ask and the blurred image. But, the intent of the competition is to identify landmasses, so the presence of contrast in the blurred image is indeed still a pretty good unintended hint. 
Either way, thanks everyone for respecting the intent of the competition, the community cognizance of this has allowed a very unique opportunity to occur for students. Including me!
I’m genuinely looking forward to the post-competition discussion of the transmissions and the puzzle-solving.

After nearly four days of flying in a polar orbit to explore the Earth’s polar regions for the first time, Dragon and the Fram2 crew will return to Earth on Friday, April 4, splashing down at approximately 16:19 UTC off the coast of California.

Managed to get a couple of very nice clean images on the last pass over my qth - best ones of all received. Pity they were ones I’d already got so didn’t manage to get full set of 12.

Hm… I went through the last observations, it looks like they never updated the TLE set to the latest causing some curved signals. 
This probably happened due to the long interval(2h) or some error during the sync process. I’ve updated the TLE in the future obs manually but I’m not sure if we are going to get any other transmissions.
I’m going to check this issue and make sure that in the future there will be no issues with the TLE sync.

There was a burn this morning this morning, which made the orbit elliptical again.
De-Orbit burn in 5 minutes…
