The ARISS commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission is going quite well. Some absolutely beautiful pictures have been posted on the ARISS SSTV image gallery. See:

Kudos to all on the great reception!

Also, fantastic efforts on ISS and in Dallas Texas yesterday for the Moon
Day/Frontiers of Flight Museum contact. It was fitting to have a US school
and the Russian Cosmonauts conducting a joint ARISS contact on the 40th anniversary of the of the Apollo-Soyuz docking.

I copied 4 pictures on 3 ISS passes Sunday (19 July) morning. This was the best of the 4 images. I used a Kenwood TH-D72A HT with an Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic antenna for my receive setup. I recorded the audio with a Sony audio recorder. I then transferred the audio recordings to a laptop, where I ran them through RX-SSTV to make the pictures.

This picture is also in the ARISS SSTV image gallery:
