0201 UTC: Nice S9 signal.



Started to decode the SSTV image on 4030. About two/thirds of the way down the image I switched to 6960 because of the noise on 4030. It made a big difference.

Tuned in at 0205 utc on Traverse City MI sdr with fair S9 to S9+20 signal, Willy Nelson "on the road again", Ball Smacker ID, Sly and family stone "thank you for letting me be myself again", Supremes "back in my arms again", Ball Smacker ID, song "won't get fooled again", song "let's twist again", signal up to good S9+30 at times, Ball Smacker ID at 0240utc, songs with the word "again" in them, BTW 4030 is much better than parallel 6960, also tried tuning in locally with Kenwood R2000 and 7mhz backyard dipole and was S9+20 with S9+10 local Uverse hash, also parallel 6960 is lost cause under Uverse noise, at 0345 utc SSTV/FAX, at 0346 good bye announcement, piano IS, carrier off at 0348 utc.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

LOL!

I've got them on both frequencies, and while the signal is S-10 plus on both, the audio is weak. Crank it up! Some doofus is under you on 4030 being, well a doofus.

Don't rely on modulation meters. Be wide and loud. Didn't Zeeky show you the light? ;)
