I got a few of these technical broadcasts, with about 10º max elevation.

For experimental purposes, we slightly expanded the geography of the broadcast.
There should be inclusion over the territory of Australia, North America, South America, Japan and Indonesia.

I understood you. If you want to help, in the coming days this week, you can try to turn on the exact broadcast only over Indonesia. I might have made a mistake when enabling the schedule. But this is strange, because… According to reports, there was a broadcast over Australia. Next there should have been a switch-on over Indonesia. In any case, thanks for the report. This is useful information for me.

Hello. Thanks for the detailed report.
There will be no broadcasts for tomorrow. Maybe during the week there will be a small short-term broadcast to check the schedule. We need to make sure that the signal over Indonesia was missing due to an error in my scheduling.

Let me remind you that in March there will be a larger broadcast with the awarding of diplomas as an incentive for accepting the image. The broadcast will go on for several days (possibly with short breaks for rest for UmKA). But I will also report about this event about a week before the start.

Hello, friends.
I’m sorry for the late response. The last few days have been very stressful for me, which coincided with my poor health.

The broadcast of the images will last until March 11. After that, the broadcast will stop. But there will be another announcement soon.

Hi @yd9ckh
Orbicraft-Zorky RS15S sends greetings in text format.
