Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using a Hermes Lite 2 with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet.

Copy about S5-S6 at my location but hear the signal better about S7 on an SDR in NC.
Playing the blues (hey that could be a song!) Audio is a bit distorted on bass, like it may be over EQed on low freq.

0241 UTC     SSTV S2 image barely decoded, looked like Skull and Cross Bones on a TV.

Getting some QRM from usual pulsing beacon signal on 6944 kHz

Now using USB mode, much better copy

2250 Re-sent SSTV picture - now make out "Damn Skippy" with voice ID following
2251 Blue Jean Blues - Melvin Taylor & the Slack Band

0307 Waterfall ID "DAMN SKIPPY"
