As others reported.

I had great difficulty tuning in without distortion.  I first heard the BC at 0208 and it was not until 0218 that I found a sweet spot where the music was listenable.  The signal was gone at 0224.

Fair copy in an SDR Recording with some fading.

0342 robo OM ID "RFF Radio 6935"
0345 good copy of Scottie 1 SSTV w/ "RFF Radio" text in the image

Thanks!

The 0345 SSTV has smaller text above the "RFF Radio" text which is hard to read but may be "Radio Free <Furry?>"
