Im just curious if anybody has any idea when the US will start to hear the ISS again, its been pretty dead lately. KC0NUK EN00
Seems with every crew change we have these periods of confusion and lack of radio activity due to all the other more pressing work items. Sometimes the radio operations rebound to an average level but other times it just stays near rock bottom. All we can do is wait and see.

I just read the daily crew schedules for today and tomorrow. Not much individual time. Prepping to come back, normal daily chores, taking photos to send to NASA and etc. Like Kenneth said, just have to wait it out.
With the Soyuz departure being delayed a day, Saturday should be a bit more free as most of those tasks will now move to Sunday.
With the delay, there sure has been a lot of traffic today. On the 2300z pass ( Minnesota ) I received 4 and a part pictures. The last one was some kind of a patch or flag? Looks like the mood sure is good. Great to receive the pictures and hear the voice contacts. John ( W0JPH )
I copied the "patch" at 2351 UTC here in North Texas, EM13. It was the 5th in this pass and the first 4 I could not copy. What I mean is the MMSSTV was in Auto mode and it would not lock sync. So I kept hitting "Robot 36. It would hold for a split second and then revert to Auto. Come to find out the "patch" (and I guess the other 4) were in Scottie 1 format. I posted the "patch" to the SSTV file here but it has not shown up. A picture I posted yesterday has been added but it covered up some photos already in that section.
