You DID notice the "uninterrupted" time span - this project's for the entire planet!

Can we download the data using conventional SSTV software?

Does your software decode PD120 format images?

Can you give us a link to software capable of decoding PD120 format that will run on a Windows 10 machine?

If you are new to receiving the ISS SSTV signals, here is a nice introductory article. The article lists various software/apps for decoding the PD120 mode.

I already have my artillery ready to see if I can get a photo when the ISS pass near Spain.

The X-30 will work OK for some passes - but not as efficient as a meager homemade Yagi!

Well, I have read the article suggested by W9IQ, downloaded some software (link contained in the article), and have made sure that the audio from my VHF/UHF rig is being heard by that software, so I'm ready.  It should be a lot of fun.

Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Yes, I know, but hey, is what this is.
The antenna is on the roof of the building very close to the sea over a valley.
So if the ISS passes near here I'll have a chance
