Signal is still picking up as sunset is just beginning. Zeke keeps talking about eating out tonight. Signal is S8 with peaks up to S9+10. Thanks for the show.

Here in western New York, getting a very intelligible S7.  Signal is improving as the sun sets.

I get waterfall image.

Easypal. I only get 80 segments of 181 and decode fails (due to another station Pancho Villa? causing QRM). Any suggestions of getting a successful decode? Zekky's Attic has a nice signal on 6925 USB.

B Dover I don't know what to tell you. Last night Zeeky had a great signal and if I remember correctly I had a solid green status bar for the image. I do live in the country where it is very quiet.

EasyPal is old software. Are there any newer Digital SSTV software Rx available? I've searched the net, but, so far, no luck.

While the waterfall is very cool, perhaps more robust, reliable software for sending the images?
