S3-S5 on my sdr here in Central Wisconsin at or just above the noise level caught Sycko Radio ID a few times. How many watts are you running tonight? Can you send an SSTV of the homemade transmitter?

0015: Noisy S5 signal with an unshamazible(?) song. Late hit; No One Else?
0017: Op hoping that someone is listening to his 8 watts of power. Talking about redhat helping with the transmitter.
