Yes, I got the same email QSL over night for SSTV reception report.
Thanks to the UMKA-1 team.

Curses! Throughout that time period I only have low elevation passes ![]()
I feel youâŚ
If i had known about this yesterday i would probably not have agreed on 12 hour overtime shifts the entire weekend⌠Doh!
On a more positive note
Thank you RA3PPY and the rest of the team behind UMKA-1!
Hmm⌠I want more of these now⌠![]()

Sorry for my question (Iâm a newbie): How can I decode an image from a saved IQ file?
Good day.
Just like during the live broadcast.
You will need to play your IQ recording.
You also need to install and run one of the programs for decoding the SSTV signal, for example RX - SSTV (for Windows OS)
Next, configure the sound. For this, you can use the built-in stereo mixer or install a virtual cable (for Windows OS).
Perhaps colleagues will tell you in more detail.
During some flights over Eastern Europe (over the MCC) the transmission may be interrupted for one turn. For updating and checking.
At max. 22° elevation:

Path obscured for part of pass but pleased to get this image on the 0935/47Z pass over the UK.

Some good elevation passes later in the activation period as well so hope to get more images from those.
Thanks to the team for the activation.
