I got about 1/2 of an SSTV image on the earlier pass from CM87ux, but on the second pass, I had my recorder on and caught the downlink conversation from Richard as he was apparently carrying on some kind of voice exchange. I just got the downlink, but the quality is pretty good, given that I recorded it with my trusty TH-D7a and Arrow antenna, and the maximum elevation was only 23 degrees.

Starts a bit rough (elevation was about 7 degrees in the middle of an urban park with some buildings serving as blockers).
