0142  'K-Pax' - Kirilan Camera, 0142 waterfall image (?) 0142 Second signal started with organ sounds and moving VFO.  Sternradio stayed on w/ out audio, 0143 2nd signal restarted, 0147 signal restarted - talk and vague music under signal, now parked on 6940.  2nd signal dropped a few hz. And went off.  Sternradio S6 but very poor audio here.

Sternradio initially good, but poor later.

I'm not sure if the 2nd signal was waterfall or not.  Waterfall images not showing here.

Oh, sorry, ich habe dich nicht gut gehört… dein signal war sehr leise… maybe QRP? Kleine Watt, große Hoffnung, ja? ;)
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.
