Being a bit further west than you I got picture 8/12 from this pass.

My first time trying to capture SSTV with a Baofang HT held next to computer mic so not the best quality capture but just about identifiable.

Hope for better luck with a bit of practice during today's passes over the UK. Will post capture(s) if I manage to get anything of reasonable quality.

In the end I managed to get 4 images from various passes over the 2 days.
Probably not the best quality but I using a Baofeng held in one hand and a mobile phone to record the audio in the other while standing by a window. Then imported files to MMSSTV to decode.

I got images 1, 8, 10 and 12 of the set and they can be found at:

Be listening for ISS sending out SSTV of Christmas Greetings! They did that at least three times overnight.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Looks like these broadcasts are due to continue until New Years Eve. Unfortunately most of the passes over my QTH are early in the morning. There is one (low elevation pass) at c0940 Local tomorrow (26-Dec) and Sunday but the 'overhead' passes are at 0500/0600 and getting earlier. Not sure I can be face getting up that early (with 0c temp's forecast) to grab a couple of images.
