KCPR, 2-24-14, 0318-0341*, 6.925.1 AM and then 6.924.9, hearing music at 0318 but signal is way down buried beneath the noise.  hearing music again at 0328 and a little lower in freq. now at 6.924.9.  heard music right up until the sstv started.  the levels on the sstv seemed quite a bit higher than the other audio.  propagation wasn't quite as good as last nite.

S8 here, but the audio is a little low.  Based on the audio width (very nice by the way) I suspect it is the station that I never heard an ID from , but that sent an SSTV image last night.  The SSTV image had an ID of KCPR.

Off after 2 songs, 0326 UTC

T!

(edit) Back up 0328 UTC, slightly lower freq, about 6924.95 kHz.  Signal strength up a bit.  Audio in and out a couple of times.

(edit 2)  Ended with an old cowboy song (same album as last night?) and an SSTV image at 0339 UTC.

I could hear the SSTV at 0339 on the SDR recording. This is all I could decode. If you squint real hard, you can imagine that you can see the black dog:

I'd greatly appreciate a QSL, KCPR, if this qualifies as reception!

The audio captured in an overnite recording on 6925USB was very thin here.  Apparently the SSTV audio (as Mr McArdle noted) was  somewhat better, as I found this in MMSSTV this morning:

My dog (her eyesight is much better than mine) agrees that this is a pair of dogs, and if it's agreeable to you, your QSL would be very much appreciated.

"Heard" you twice now, but looking forward to better reception in the future, and thanks!
