0038: music, maybe Hendrix - "Star Spangled Banner"
barely above noise, S6, 15221
0051: still sounds like Hendrix playing, not sure of song name
0054: sporadic digital QRM
0100: can barely tell station is still there; OM singing
0103: thought I heard an SSTV preamble, maybe not; more music
0105: again, thought I heard SSTV start and quickly stop -> repeat of Hendrix with Star Spangled Banner
0108: 25222, more SSTV, too weak to decode very well, but shows "DAMN SKIPPY"




0117: "Setting Sun" - BLP Brian Lucas Project
0122: SSTV; too much QRM from digital station to completely decode, but ...
  ("SKIPMUCK SAYS SO")
0123: EOT

Thank you for the show - the music and the SSTV. Wish I could hear it better.

0122 utc

is this the (The 2024 Shortwave Fest Pirate Radio Broadcast 6950 USB 0024 UTC 11 MAY 2024)

I'm not sure. It seemed to appear out of the blue loud enough and visible enough all at once around 0113 that I could make out a station, at least on my radio. Might be a continuation. Reception even of BallSmacker on 6960 is really bad compared to usual tonight.
