Listened for a few minutes with just the carrier, but an older (maybe '70s?) pop song faded up. I have it on 6930.6

VVV
Testing with crystal controlled TX#1 at 5 watts.
Need to keep my chops up so I don't forget how to use it.
Also I need to use the scope with this TX to monitor the modulation
and that can be a pain to.

Sorry for all the up and down but I think I got the scope dialed in now.
Let me know how it all sounds.

I will stay on as long as props hold up.  8)
