Sycko Radio 6932.5 USB 1923 UTC 26 Nov 2016
« on: November 26, 2016, 1930 UTC »
Weak signal S2-4 24222

1923 - SSTV Scottie 1 (only captured last few seconds of image)
1925 - second SSTV Scottie 1 transmission
1927 - OM? saying something like "DoJo Radio"
1935 - stopped jabbering
1937 - SSTV B/W image - very grainy. Says something pertaining to his mental illness
1940 - SSTV ID, Sycko Radio, "Warning SYCKO RADIO is back on the air. (Take Note listeners with mental illness certain people sensitive to high and...unreadable after this point"

The last few images show B/W 12 mode with severe slant correction

1947 - SSTV but not able to lock/capture

Thanks Sycko R. - good to hear from you again!

Very weak here, possibly still some audio at 1935 UTC?
More SSTV at 1938, too weak to decode.
Aurora - what SSTV modes are being used?

Got a little bit with a manual decode of Robot 24 second B&W mode:
