Patterson, Gene / KC3RT

Here are my results pertaining to your Tuesday, March 26, 2019 transmissions. I was able to lock onto several slow scan images utilizing different frequencies ranging between good to very good image quality. The Narration broadcast session proved to have stronger audio and signal qualities too. All times and dates stated below are in UTC. Here are details of what I heard:

Sessions I - VII proved to be unsuccessful in providing any acceptable signals here at all.

============================

Receiving equipment consisted of the following:
Icom 756Pro3 transceiver - digital noise processing was set at 40% reduction for the audio Narration but disabled for all SSTV; the bandwidth filter was set to 6.0 khz and the pre-amplifier was disabled (0 dB gain) during the test transmissions to minimize interference. The antenna system consisted of either (1) a 40-meter Carolina-Windom wire antenna or (2) a 5-band ground mounted vertical. The Carolina-Windom dipole is 60 feet long strung between 3 trees 40 feet high and oriented northeast by southwest. The vertical antenna utilizes 10 buried radials, two per band. The slow scan images were decoded using the SignaLink USB sound card in combination with the MMSSTV Ver. 1.13A interface.
