February 2015 SSTV

Looks like I picked the wrong time to be out of town. Saw that SSTV was active over much of the world from January 30 through February 01 with some initial issues of carrier only during most of the first day.

I have been informed that a repeat session will occur  the day after the U.S. EVA on February 20. Setup of SSTV and then transmission operations should start Feb 21 about 10:00 UTC. This will run continuously until February 23 at 21:30 UTC. Images will be sent in the same PD180 mode with 3 minute gaps between transmissions.

The second of three U.S. EVAs in early 2015 will occur on Feb 24 with the third one targeting March 01.
