"Digital voice breaking language barriers"
"LU5DKI, has developed a system he uses to have high quality radio contacts between him speaking Spanish and other amateurs who speak only English or Japanese."
Could this be used with DMR Brandmeister for overseas QSO's perhaps:

Tracking the Skies
Before I joined FAMPARC and became an amateur, I was collecting data transmitted by aircraft. Specifically, it’s called ADS-B, and it’s the data that organisations such as FlightRadar24 and FlightAware use to populate their web sites. These sites are freely available for people globally to use to track aircraft. That’s not its sole purpose, but it’s the usage most recognised by most people.
Why was this interesting for me? It perfectly blended me being a career-long IT professional, an aviation enthusiast (it’s not co-incidence I live about a kilometre from Moorabbin Airport) and a radio geek. It also provides me with a free, top-tier FlightRadar24 subscription – just what every aviation geek needs.
I’ve been promising Craig for a couple of months that I’d pull together a presentation for FAMPARC members. I took the lazy option – I got Microsoft’s AI tool, Co-Pilot, to do it for me.…

For the benefit of newer members. SSTV from the International Space Station is not that difficult. The frequency is 437.550 FM plus/minus 10 kHz. A computer. I think SSTV is available on all platforms. You will need to connect the computer to your radio with a cable. Any radio capable of receiving 437.550 will do. And an external antenna would help. The alternative is to make use of our club’s remote radio system, see VK3KO for access. The advantage of the club system is the antenna system. We should all have one like it. The satellite goes around the earth every 93 minutes at an eye watering speed.
Enjoy.
