	Date	Movement
Expand	2019-03-29	I. Prelude / II. Introductions to the Ghost / III. Methodologies in Music and Morse	Time 06:00:00 – 06:11:00 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Sections I - III: Heard the CW on 2.75 MHz, was somewhat copyable. Since I don't know more than 4 letters in CW, I let FLDIGI do the decoding, and am basing the copyability on that. I found that putting the radio into SSB instead of AM improved the signal to noise ratio in this case. I experimented with this in several other sections.
Expand	2019-03-29	IV. Saxophonal Stochastic Ghost Resonances	Time 06:11:30 – 06:16:30 Frequency (MHZ) 3.35, 2.75 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section IV: Heard clearly on both 3.35MHz and 2.75MHz. The signals became the same as each other at 0614 UTC.
Expand	2019-03-29	V. Wolves Chasing the Ghost	Time 06:17:00 – 06:22:00 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section V: Heard on 2.75MHz LSB with a 3k band pass filter enabled.
Expand	2019-03-29	VI. The Mind and the MRI	Time 06:22:30 – 06:32:30 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75, 3.35 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section VI: SSTV images are attached, starting with filename: VIsstv*.PNG VIsstv1: 2.75 AM (I switched from AM to LSB roughly halfway through the image reception to see the difference) VIsstv2: 3.35 LSB VIsstv3: 3.35 LSB VIsstv4: 2.75 LSB VIsstv5: 3.35 LSB 3.35 appeared to come in somewhat stronger than 2.75 in this section.
Expand	2019-03-29	VII. Letters and Numbers	Time 06:33:00 – 06:39:00 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75, 3.35 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section VII: 3.35 and 2.75 were both heard extremely clear. I had best results using AM with a 3k band pass filter.
Expand	2019-03-29	VIII. Pictures and Words	Time 06:39:30 – 06:45:30 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section VIII: Audio heard on 2.75 with clear phonetics. SSTV image attached (VIIIsstv1.PNG) Started with LSB, switched to AM at 25% into the reception. Switched back to LSB at 50%. And back to AM at 75%.
Expand	2019-03-29	IX. Spy Cameras from the Sky and a Mystery Box in the Woods	Time 06:46:00 – 06:56:00 Frequency (MHZ) 5.1, 6.9 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section IX: Nothing heard on either 5.1 or 6.9Mhz. Was able to faintly hear some audio at around 0650 UTC (AM with 3k band pass filter). SSTV was very weak. The signal dropped several times, causing the image to never be fully received.
Expand	2019-03-29	X. Not with a Bang but with a WSPR	Time 06:56:30 – 06:59:30 Frequency (MHZ) 2.75 Antenna inverted-v dipole antenna Receiver Icom 7100 Note Section X: Great copy on the CW. Again, used FLDIGI to handle the decoding, and it seemed to be pretty close to a perfect copy. Able to make out most of the message.
