No copy locally.

Considerable SSTV activity this morning. Plenty of SSTV crosstalk and SSB voice comms on frequency, so lots of noisy decodes, partial decodes, and failed decodes here.
Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical.

2359z - Carrier and faint music. SIO 332 trending 221. S4-S5 peaks with fades into the noise floor via Airspy HF+D and 148' loop-on-ground. Interference from an UTE and occasional peskies. Very rough copy here, but nonetheless, it is there.
0005z - Modulation fell into the noise floor on the LoG. Switched to the 31' vertical. That got the modulation back slightly above the noise floor, but it is still a difficult copy.
0008z - OM on the mic.
Thanks for the broadcast! :)
