Alex KR1ST<p>Got a nice <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/SSTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSTV</span></a> image from the <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/ISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISS</span></a> during the second pass this morning. Unfortunately, <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/ARISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ARISS</span></a> asks not to share it on social media.
