Yes, on the last North American pass the signal was quite strong. Clean decode.

There will be another SSTV event on the Space Station this weekend.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz mission the International Space Station (ISS) is set to transmit 12 Slow Scan TV (SSTV) images this weekend. The images are set to transmit Saturday morning, July 18 and will run through until Sunday, July 19, but they note that the dates are tentative and could be subject to change. The images will be transmitted at 145.80 MHz and will probably be sent in the PD80 SSTV mode with 3 minute breaks between each transmission.

That looks cool. What program is that?

SSTV stands for Slow Scan TV - a method of transmitting pictures and images. Used by hams and some HF pirates (Wolverine Radio among them), and has been used by the ISS for quite a while now

You can get a lot more information on this - and links to compatible (free) programs - here

I just "heard" a pass but it seemed like a stuck mic. Perhaps I missed the actual transmission and got the "break" as I heard no tones as normal for SSTV.

Just came in from yard work and copied a partial transmission. If they were having issues yesterday it seems to be rectified.
