Tuned in around 2055 or so to weak instrumental music. Is this still Sprockets?

Really off. 4 SSTV images and " You are listening to Sprockets, the show has grown tiresome, we will sign off now"
at 21:29 UTC ;D

I posted all of the SSTV images on the HF Underground FaceBook page, probably to the annoyance of everyone.  ::)

Tuned in at 2122 to what sounded like SSTV and talk at 2125, but too weak to decode above S7 noise floor.
