Yes, sorry 2 min on / 2 min off. My bad ;-) Yes, I was surprised how strong the signal was. Must be using more power than usual. Andreas.

The first image I received started only a few seconds after AOS and was surprisingly strong.

Received 2 beautiful clear pictures (12/12 and 1/12) from ISS SSTV on a 62 degree pass over east coast Australia. Very strong signal .. never heard the ISS that strong ?
Transmitting in the typical 3 min on / 3 min off schedule. Does anybody know if they issue certificates again on this SSTV cycle ?
Thanks,
Andreas - VK4TH
