Trying LSB tonight (and will do for future "encore" broadcasts).  Unfortunately audio is limited to about 3KHz, but that's what we have for equipment for LSB.  1400W peak.

New antenna under construction...should be on the air by October! 

SSTV starts after "Lollipop".

Conditions are much better tonight, so hopefully I can get another shot at decoding the SSTV at the end.

S9+20 in Charles Town WV on my IC-7300 with G5RV antenna.

Icom 7300 with G5RV INSIDE the attic, unless specified otherwise.

Too many radios to list.  Mini-whip, Home-brew Mag-loop, are also on the antenna switch.
