Anyway, last evening I tuned in using my ICOM IC-738 transceiver, and through a lot of noise I was able to pick up some of your transmissions from Alaska. Here is my signal report for what it’s worth:

March 26, 2019 01:03 – 01:09 UTC 7.900 MHz AM: Phonetic letters of the alphabet AA, BB, CC, ... ZZ. That was followed by the alphabet AAA, BBB, CCC, ... ZZZ. RST 3, 3, – with fading.

March 26, 2019 01:09 – 01:15 UTC 7.900 MHz AM: I could hear the chirping sound of SSTV but did not have a means of recording or translating the sounds which were again covered in static and faded in and out.

March 26, 2019 01:16 – 01:26 UTC 6.900 MHz AM: I could hear sporadic speech but reception was terrible and I couldn’t make out anything. RST 1, 3, – with fading.
