oh goody !
it actually worked and worked very well, mode PD50 (shortest time, good quality)
thanks Chris, that is one really great SSTV program you made, well worth $19.95 !
what you received is actually very good if compared with the original image, id give it 98% match.

The Relay Station pirate station 6880 kHz 6.880 MHz 6.88 MHz pirate radio 6880 AM

2100 UTC - Tune in time - bits and pieces of audio locally (checked remote receivers as well)
2101 UTC - heard part of "Rocket Man" very clear for a few moments, fading up to a good copy
2103 UTC - can hear the riff from "Kashmir" mashed up with "Fell On Black Days"
2105 UTC - went from SIO 111 to SIO 444 almost instantly, then back down a bit...propagation is playing with us
2110 UTC - signal improving even more
2113 UTC - rap? fading in and out of the noise again (sounds like this could be another mashup?)
2114 UTC - faded back in for a few moments, then back down into the noise
2120 UTC - more fading
2129 UTC - faded back up nicely for a bit, could hear parts of "Under Pressure"
