I found these 3 SSTV pics during my tonite's Perseus SDR recording in NW Germany.
Transmission times were (from left to right): 01.08UTC, 01.19UTC and 01.28UTC.

My guess: it has been Wolverine testing somewhat, because the signal
has been quite strong for Trans-Atlantic reception.

@refmo, seems there was no ID above on the globe pic

Unfortunately too late for Europe, we already have bright daylight
at about 03.30 UTC now, sunrise is at about 03.00 UTC!
So keep it in your mind, dear operators, if you should claim to reach
the other side if the pond somehow or other!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Pirate Radio Boston 6873.5 AM 0018 UTC 6/27/16

« on: June 27, 2016, 1340 UTC »

00.15.35 UTC carrier appeared on my SDR recorder, into music
mostly illegible during that time period due to severe QRM by noise station
00.34 UTC announcements and talk, ID PRB and e-mail given
00.37 UTC Weird Al Yankovic - Eat It
00.40 UTC Announcemenrts again
00.44 UTC the word "Europe" heard but illegible for more
00.50 UTC Weird Al Yankovic - Canadian Idiot
00.55 UTC PRB IDs and e-mail given again, music then, but illegible until
01.26 UTC talk, sounded like a kind of comedy, but unsure
01.27.15 UTC carrier vanished

Wow, PRB made it again across the pond, but the QRG chosen was awful,
(see my pic attached), I had to reduce AM, even USB was better than real AM.
I just identified the records above, but most of the show was illegible.
The carrier drifted from 6873.4 up to 6873.6 at the end of the transmission.
SINPO was 21221 only, but anyway, thank you again Charlie for this nice show!
