The planners have confirmed a 14-July start for the next ARISS SSTV series. 
12 images will start transmitting around 09:15 UTC | 05:15 AM ET on Monday.  Event will run across parts of 7 days.

For tracking the ISS I use https://heavens-above.com/ (https://heavens-above.com/)
(Make sure you enter your location & select 'ISS'on the left menu then 'All Passes')

That's not fair John, us cheapskates get our pictures will a standard vertical 2m/70cm white stick! :P  :)
But very well done for the resuls with your homebrew jobbie, it certainly works well as seen by your latest pics.

Antenna Farm & Shack in a Box Car also excellent! 8)

Nothing even reasonable for me yesterday, Friday was better & will probably be my last as I don't think I'll be on the radio for the last passes today! ::)
