I received these four images on the SDR recording.

There were also two additional images send in between the second and third image, much weaker, probably from another station. Poor copy here, perhaps someone else has better copy?

Chris, from a chatroom conversation, those 2 images were sent by Amphetamine Radio (directed towards Wolverine Radio, he was hoping for a response).
I believe the other images were sent by someone other than Wolverine, though.

Thanks refmo, now that you mentioned Amphetamine Radio, I can see the red pixels where his ID would be on the images.
