Red Mercury Labs 6925USB, 0405-0417 UTC

[Chanter]

Caught RML last night for the first time!  SIO initially 444 into southern Wisconsin, degrading to 333 with time - darn that loud static.  Rock music I didn't know, followed by an SSTV transmission, then the OP talking with ID's included.  'You're aboard the Red Mercury.'  There was a QSO with somebody called Captain Ron in there, no idea who that is, then several minutes of silence before another SSTV image.  I couldn't catch either of those, sorry folks.  Back into the OP talking before sign-off, including another ID and 'smoke 'em if you got 'em.'  I haven't got 'em, sorry RML.    Thanks for the show!

I can't exactly explain it, but the audio during the 0315z SSTV transmission did not "sound right"

Scottie S1 Mode:


OM with "Red Mercury Labs 6925 Upper Side Band" at end of SSTV

Recorder Catches on 6925.0USB.

Same details as Sealord noted; he speaketh the truth.  RML did ment in the 2nd block at 0413 that he was on 6925 AM.  Additionally, RML had QSOs fore and aft of the last image at 0416; I believe this was with Blue Ocean Radio.  Overall good signals, but there was considerable storm noise here last night, which really degraded image quality.

My captures:







Thanks RML; cute little feller, that Yoshi!
