Low passes with and omnidirectional antenna just don’t work with these low passes. This was at 19elv
So far I have been able to receive all the images transmitted by UmKA-1 during this event 
.
I still need to try to improve some images 
I’m always getting the same images 4 images. I’m missing the pink planet.

It did send some data right after the first SSTV transmission that was not the usual telemetry. Did anyone catch what that was?

My recording shows usual telemetry 20 seconds after the first image, which is 10:05:03.

Thanks to @pu4elt for the heads-up I managed to grab this on the 093xZ pass over UK; actually same image a couple of times but this best of them. I think this was the only viable pass over UK during the activation period so glad to catch it.
