Seems UMKA-1 is still sending the images from 25th and 26th.
Besides Варвара (8 лет) – “Большая и Малая медведицы” one pass before, I’ve got at 10:11 utc Коровин Егор (2″В” класс) – “Солнечная Система” 2024-05-25 20:08 utc.

What is the actual bandwith of this signal? It does seem to be closer to 10 khz than the usual 12.5 but then again the signal is not very strong here.

Best so far. Hoping for better on the evening pass
