Lippert, Gary / K7VBY

Better success tonight with the broadcast. I tuned in late and heard the alphabet in phonetics on 4.40 with a good signal with slight fading. Following the alphabet was a message in phonetics. The sound quality was good.

On 5.10 I copied 3 of the Scottie 1 SSTV pictures. It took me a few minutes to get my MMSSTV program to communicate with the Icom 7300. Included are the pictures copied.

At 56 minutes past the hour on 3.20 was an MCW message that I missed the first few characters. "..... the signal is inside BT Inside the noise. Be careful when you filter. Some of that noise might actually be signal. The beginning of the universe left echoes in the microwaves. Was it a bang or a whisper? Will it be whimper or a WSPR?"
