Hearing a SSTV transmission at the moment at 02:03UTC tonight fair signal with a S9 signal here in South Carolina!
Best in USB!! Another transmission weaker than the first at 02:05UTC. I think this is his 3rd transmission of SSTV! There is another station after this one when off the air I can hear music in the background at 02:20UTC!!
