I think the template uses whatever callsign is set in MMSSTV. The template is huge.
Also I was told MMSSTV has five templates and when you load images to transmit into it the first five get the templates and presumably the others don't which is why some have the template and others don't.

Thanks. Looks like they have things sorted now. Nice image received on the 19:03z pass here in CM98.

p.s. Just a nit... Why does the RS0ISS call sign appear in a significantly larger font than "NA1SS 10/12" in the SCaN images? Is there a legal reason (station license)?

Some of them have the overlay. It is not just you. It is weird how they all don't have it though.
Just had a nice 53 degree pass here. There was a 3 min gap between the last two images.

Hi folks,
I let my radio and SSTV program run last night. Several passes, none super high, so my expectations were low. Also the whole downlink frequency thing. But, as I sift through the images and static of the night, I see about a half dozen partial pictures! Yea!
But, three of them, two from the 12:35z pass, and one from the 14:11z pass, have an overlay from MMSSTV calling "CQ SSTV"! Were they sent down from the ISS this way, or was someone locally rebroadcasting them (incorrectly)? The image from the 11:02z pass seemed fine, though I only go a part of it ("Curiosity on Mars"), as was the 15:49z pass.
Next pass, a low one, beginning in 4 minutes at 17:27z... Fingers crossed.
