About S9 here.

Was anyone able to get a good decode of the SSTV images sent? They all seemed to have timing issues here. Not sure if it was the SDR recording or the transmission.

Also mostly S9 here.  Occasionally up to +10 and down to S7.  ID @ 2116z.
I missed the first sstv (had tuned away), but couldn't get a decode on the rest here.
Spectrum looked very good, so probably some kind of timing thing....

WMPR, 6925am, 11-22-12, SINPO 45444
Tuned in at the very end to catch the ID's and SSTV tones. Sorry I missed most of the show.

Happy Thanksgiving WMPR.

Recorder catch:

6925ish AM (rx in USB) SIO 232-333

Fair signal overall with some fading - similar details as others.
