Weakly audible from 02:04 UTC tune-in on the west coast.  A bit too weak to positively identify the songs I'm hearing.  Should improve closer to our LSS at 03:00 UTC.  02:07, a brief mention from the DJ, then back to music.   Thanks!!!    Walt in Victoria, BC

Looks like I'm the furthest west hearing this Pirate at 03:05 UTC tune-in at fair/good level. SSTV signal at 03:08 UTC:



Same image as Damn Skippy Radio from the 5th.     73, from Victoria, BC!

As strong as I ever hear him, at S9+10, but then suddenly off (or only a very weak carrier) at 04:12 UTC, in mid-sentence, so something broke!     73,  Walt in Victoria.

Fair to good signal at 02:36 tune in.  Wow, in the 60 meter band!   That's a first for me!   73,  Walt

Eyes Without a Face (Billy Idol) at 03:07.   A question:   what are the short SSTV bursts?   Using MixW, I can't decode any of them.  Longer ones are fine.   Thanks!

Nice SSTV image at 02:51 UTC, then into Get Together (The Youngbloods)  at good level (about S6 to S7) into Victoria, BC

I received the image, but assumed it was another from Wolverine.  No doubt, the subsequent signal is much weaker than Wolverine's into Victoria, BC.

Some deeper fades compared to Wolverine, so not sure whether same op or note.  Signal is pretty good. 
Just Dropped In (Kenny Rogers) at 02:18 as I type this, then a quick SSTV (not picked up), and into Inside Looking Out (Grand Funk Railroad).

A couple of images before going off the air.  On rechecking, though, at 02:11, there's a much weaker signal on 6930U.  I suspect Wolverine has moved to 6955U with the same great signal.  Best heard on my North Flag (off the back end?), so perhaps CA location?
Always appreciate an eQSL to CANSWL (at) Gmail (dot) com.

Armchair copy into Victoria at 01:52 UTC tune in.  Lately, I've had to really struggle to hear any pirate, so nice to have such a great reception.  Into the Fire (Sarah McLachlan) at 01:54, for example.

I monitor YHWH regularly.  3 nights ago, reception was excellent into Victoria, but then for the next 2 nights, almost totally inaudible.  Tonight, quite good again.  Not quite as good as earlier in the week,but still pretty strong, nonetheless.  Usual canned programming.  I've never seen or heard of a QSL from Josiah.   73,  Walt in Victoria, BC

Off at 02:29 it seems.  I did not hear any ID at s/off, although reported as Captain Morgan Shortwave earlier.  Thanks for the show!   73, from Victoria, BC    Walt
