Re: [amsat-bb] NASA on the Air images with MMSSTV overlay?
So I hadn't seen this image yet:

Clearly that is not the template. It was just a choice to make RS0ISS larger. I believe it is the Russian equipment and these events don't happen without them so it makes sense to me. I dont think all the images have NA1SS in them but I'm pretty sure they all have RS0ISS in them.

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)?

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.

I thought I recalled that Frank posted the set of 12 images a few days prior to the event. Those would give the image without any overlay material so you could easily determine what is the image and what is being imposed over the image.

Decoded 1 image this morning from Boston. System was on automatic receive. Did not have time to collect any details, but it looks like ISS SSTV is still active. Downlink 145.800
