Looks like no SSTV on the 16:00 pass over US Nuts.
Sounds of Silence in TN as well.

Seems like it's just luck - if anyone talks to him I would suggest he uses Martin 2 - twice as fast, there's no need for Martin 1 from the ISS.
My next decent pass is tomorrow...

Mmmm...passes are a problem down here in SW Florida - initially very few and those that there are, are low in the sky and at awkward times of the day!

Heard a good signal, though brief. He said something to a VE? about troubleshooting something, and that was the last I heard, though the pass ran another 3-4 minutes.

Gerry, I heard him as well, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He was making contact with a group at a school. Thought I'd let him talk to the kids instead of breaking in and looking for QSO. S-7 up here.

Hi all: The current version of SpaceCam1 supports the following formats:
Robot-36 Robot-72 Scottie S1 Scottie S2 Martin M1
If there is enough public interest and support we can ask ARISS if they will approve SpaceCam2
WF1F Miles MarexMG (formally Marex-NA, Our web page got hijacked so we Incorporated as MarexMG)

Hi,
Go for Scottie 2 please - about one minute per picture, there's no need for the longer Martin 1 / Scottie 1 format on VHF.

I forgot include the details on Thermal issues.
We do not have convection cooling in space! All electronics in ISS run hotter than they would on Earth. The Kenwood TM-D700 has not been modified to operate in Zero-G, without Convection cooling!
Therefore the official recommendations from MarexMG are the following:
Run the Slide Show mode at 5 minute intervals more. Set the TX power output to Low or watts. Set the Image format for Robot-36! (reduce duty cycle) Do not run Unattended until we have established the stability of the VOX and set the Audio settings to prevent continuous carriers. Record the temperature of the heat sink at the Antenna junction.
73 Miles WF1F www.marexmg.org
Why not Robot 36 as originally suggested? 36 seconds per frame. Not the greatest quality, but at least the pass is less likely to end in the middle of it.
