Title: UNID 6933 USB 0222 UTC 8 MAY 2022
Post by: Skipmuck on May 08, 2022, 1146 UTC
Not sure about this one...WDOG seemed to have closed down at 0220 UTC.
0222 UTC OM came on with "CQ CQ Is anybody using this frequency", followed by "Come And Join Us On the Airwaves"-The Ham Band. The signal strength was different than at WDOG sign off.
0226 UTC OM with "CQ CQ CQ, hello CQ CQ CQ", then OFF

Can anybody confirm that this was still WDOG or was it somebody else? Here's the link to my recording. It's missing the spoken part before the song.

I heard this to. At the time I thought it was WDOG but I could be wrong. The calling CQ is part of Join Us On The Airwaves by The Ham Band.

Thanks for that information! I found the song on Youtube this morning, but didn't listen to it! I am still curious as to the 2 minute gap between what I thought was the WDOG sign off, and the Ham Band tune. Maybe the WDOG op could confirm or deny?  :)

I had a weak signal here... was able to get a decode on the Scottie 1 SSTV @ 0243z:

Hello Sealord...was your decode on 6933 USB or 6925 USB? The identical SSTV is posted on this link at that time here:

Yep; thanks for the clarification - it must have been 6925...I had a dinner party last night trying to entertain & dx at the same time is tricky :)
