Late SDR recording catch, the same image sent twice in Scottie 1 mode:
I assume this is the same station that has been transmitting SSTV in AM around 6925 for the last few days. Looking at the SDR recording waterfall, I believe the op is overdriving the transmitter, the audio is too hot. Below is a waterfall screenshot showing the SSTV transmission, as well as WWCR which was on 6875 AM at the same time. You can see how the SSTV audio has harmonics, to me this looks like the effect of clipping:

Late SDR catch:
Heard Jerry Reed "East Bound And Down" in USB first, then off the air and back on in AM at 0227z with the same song, but much weaker than the USB transmission, which was quite strong.
Off after that one song.

Another late SDR recording catch. Sign on with some music, quite weak.
Off with what seemed like a Robot 24C SSTV pic at 0534z, but way too weak to get a decode.

Choppy reception, the CME just hit a short time ago, so HF may be taking a dive for the weekend.
