I have been monitoring passes of ISS for the SSTV transmissions.
So far with good success.
However, when unable to be in the shack I leave everything set up to automatically capture any SSTV on 145.800MHz. Late yesterday evening around 2019-08-02 01:35 UTC I received an odd SSTV image which stands out from the other images from the ISS.
This image looks like a SSTV from VE1PK but I have not been to find out anything more about it.
I have a vague recollection of Bob Buringa mentioning that one of PACSATs can transmit SSTV on 145.800MHZ but I can't find the posting in which that was mentioned - either that or I managed to confuse what was said, I do now the new PCSAT can transmit SSTV on 70cm which may be the source of my confusion.

It is of course the one which does not look any of the other ISS images.
Anyone able to shed some light on this wee mystery?
