Started to decode the SSTV image on 4030. About two/thirds of the way down the image I switched to 6960 because of the noise on 4030. It made a big difference.

LOL!

I've got them on both frequencies, and while the signal is S-10 plus on both, the audio is weak. Crank it up! Some doofus is under you on 4030 being, well a doofus.

Don't rely on modulation meters. Be wide and loud. Didn't Zeeky show you the light? ;)
