Very loud into Southeast Texas last night.

Anyone get the SSTV?
I was running MMSSTV and it never went into decode mode.

Did anyone else notice any audio issues with KBC, right around 0145Z?  I was back and forth between two different stations that night, and I swear they went entirely off the air, no carrier or anything, for several minutes, then came back on again.  Transmitter problem?

Yes, they came on 15 minutes late and did cut out at 0145. Exactly as you described.

Was able to hear this at JBA to fair level with a barefoot PL-880 from Asilomar State Beach; I didn't get the SSTV but the view was gorgeous.
