North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID SSTV Images - 6926.5 USB

« on: January 01, 2011, 2214 UTC »

Difficult time tuning this one in. Weak signal only S7 but at my noise level.
Scottie 1 format:

2130 - captured bottom of frame - text said "Anonymous"
2131 - second frame looked like an image of Satan. Underneath was text that said "Expect Us"
2156 - captured a partial of the second frame again but signal is much weaker now and Ute QRM is blasting over it.
