I got home and tuned in just in time to hear the end of the SSTV transmission at 0215 UTC, then at 02220 UTC, another SSTV transmission signal, though this one seems weaker. Not hearing anything else so far.

0225 UTC: Thought I heard a man talking, but it was down in the noise. Still haven't really heard any of the music.

0230 UTC: Maybe heard just a wisp of music, but the "woodpecker noise" of OTHR is getting more frequent.

 8) Skippy, as an engineer and an ex ham, yes, any fool can hear 50 kw, but it takes skill to get to hear that 50 milliwatts
Radio is dying. We need to give it shelter
