That's an indication of signal strength comrade. From the signal meter on the receiver.

Yes we did - nice to see ya here. When you say the "band is fading", is that because of something solar, or propagation, or something else?

Not very strong here into Maine. S3-S4. At 2140, I recognized the ID, then the station transmitted something in SSTV.

The SSTV transmission had a wee bit of a timing problem...



That's the version with an attempt to fix the timing. Here's the raw image:


Was the audio with the SSTV encoded as an mp3 or other compressed format, Comrade Dickweed?
