Heard 4 images on 0918+UTC pass over IO91 but 2 poor decodes due to obstructed skyline. First image just after AOS so incomplete, other one near max elevation (c30deg).

Callsign was optional. But what if I don’t have a callsign and I didn’t provide it?

"At the urgent request of the workers (what requests?! Demands! :sweat_smile::joy:), the Mission Control Center team at the school couldn’t let the May holiday pass by. A broadcast of children’s cartoons is scheduled for the weekend on the “UMKA from Space” program.

Start: 2026-05-01 00:51 UTC
End: 2026-05-03 (to be defined)

Frequency: 437.625 MHz
Intervals: 120 seconds
Mode: Robot-36

During the flyover of the Mission Control Center in Podolsk, the transmission may be briefly interrupted to show new children’s drawings.

PEACE! WORK! MAY! :tada:"
