WBLU 6930 USB 0157 UTC 05 APR 2020
« on: April 05, 2020, 0200 UTC »
SSTV sent right after Wolverine's. Based on various comments of strength on the HFU chat, it's a different pirate.


0159 "I'm on Fire" Dwight Twilley Band
0202 "The Loner" Gary Moore
0203 suddenly QRT
0204 OM voice, into "The Loner" again

There were reports on the HFU chat of two signals on this frequency following Wolverine. I could only hear one, which I presume was Skippy, who vacated this frequency after a bit and left this one.

0241 still a fairly good signal here, some fades though. May not have much of a copy before too long.
0257 signal has recovered somewhat. OM on mic with song titles and WBLU ID

I received the image, but assumed it was another from Wolverine.  No doubt, the subsequent signal is much weaker than Wolverine's into Victoria, BC.

Stayed on 6930 at 0157 after wolverine, weak signal, SSTV/FAX, blues tunes, faded away after a while.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

I heard the weaker signal here just after Wolverine until well past 0230 UTC, then went upstairs for dinner.
