Really off. 4 SSTV images and " You are listening to Sprockets, the show has grown tiresome, we will sign off now"
at 21:29 UTC ;D

I posted all of the SSTV images on the HF Underground FaceBook page, probably to the annoyance of everyone.  ::)

Tuned in at 2122 to what sounded like SSTV and talk at 2125, but too weak to decode above S7 noise floor.
50mi west of Chicago, IL.  SDRPlay, Kenwood R-1000, Icom IC-R71A, AOR AR8200, Racal RA17 (being restored) with dual 100' inverted V's into MFJ-1026.  eQSL please to elburndx@gmail.com
