Looks like the MAI-75 folks have scheduled some SSTV
activity during specific periods each day from Dec 6-8.
The times correlate to a small number of passes each day in range of Moscow.

Seems the system will be put through some extended testing from Dec 5 starting around 15:00 UTC and running until 09:00 UTC on Dec 6. Test images will be used during this period. This will provide near global coverage if all works well. The MAI-75 schedule remains unchanged at this point.
**UPDATE Dec 5**
Looks like they had to do some rescheduling related to changes in the Cygnus release. Below is the new schedule:
Dec 6, 2017
Test Setup and activation – 15:25-16:25UTC
Dec 7, 2017
Test Power off – 08:10-08:20 UTC
Power off – 17:30-17:40 UTC
Dec 8, 2017
Power on – 14:05-14:15 UTC
**UPDATE - Dec. 6**
Transmissions in PD120 being reported by ground stations. Reports of computerized voice also reported. This is likely from a program running on the same computer and outputting audio to the headphone port that SSTV is also using. There appears to be 12 images in the series but images on 1-6 are the same as the ones on set from 7-12.
