Title: Dead Cat Radio 6925 USB music & SSTV
Post by: Zoidberg on October 24, 2008, 0309 UTC

6925 USB
0135z: Faint sing-song tones, indistinct.
0150z: Distinctive reggae now, not strong and no ID, but definitely reggae.  Peter Tosh style, tho' not sure of artist.
0156z: More reggae, different song, closer to Bob Marley style, still very weak and fading to inaudible at times.
0208z: Some version of "Only You Know and I Know", not sure which, guitar riffs sound like Clapton's.
0215z: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B
0216z: Dead Cat Radio ID

Signal started out weak, improved by 0150z, some ute QRM and local RFI, fairly low background noise other than whooshing atmospherics.

0217z: SSTV (looks like the cat ate the canary... or parrot?)

Come the Revolution, when cats take over the world, you two will be among the first on the list.

Looks like an armadillo waiter escorting the last drunken Parrothead from the premises after closing time at Margaritaville.

Picking this up at 2:50z on 6925USB

Sorry for the fuzziness, signal was coming weak at southeastern ontario. It reads "Mariguana - Its not Just for Hippies Anymore!"

You caught the tail end of Wolverine Radio, which finished off a set of Pretenders music with three SSTV images, including the one you snagged.

Dead Cat Radio does not dabble in herbs other than catnip and whatever goes well with roadkill.  Catching the tail end of DCR is not advisable.  A more typical DCR SSTV has a serious cattitude problem.
