Thanks for doing the art experiment, I was able to only copy the 6.9 Mhz transmission, the audio level was way down - like the transmitter was way under modulated, but the sstv picture came through decently. I see from your web site that one thing that might have helped me greatly was that the harp antenna was aimed at Washington DC and I'm up in Silver Spring only a couple of miles North. One additional problem here was I'm using a rain gutter for an antenna and that results in very high noise levels in the receiver, S9 at 6.9 Mhz, much worse lower in frequency. I followed along with the you tube streaming when I could not copy. Eager to try again, especially if I get a better antenna or you aim the antenna at DC again!
