Thank you for the military rank themed show tonight Ballsmacker! Tough prop this evening, but 4030 USB is punching through!

Good signal so far, mixed in with CODAR or something else

Much better as for so odd reason can’t get 6960 AM, antenna not pointing in the right direction?

BIG INPROVEMENT OVER 6960 HZ

Message received.  4030 is definitely better...that's why we used to change with the DST switch.  6960 is super long even though we are pumping the highest power we've ever had.  We'll for sure do 4030 next week, probably in wide USB.  This week it is audio freq. cutoff is at 3.2KHz.

I listened on a web SDR in PA.  4030 USB. Signal was good with intermittent interference, at times heavy, S7 to S9. I was able to view the SSTV image
I knew most of the songs. Very good, fun to listen to.

The common theme was military with most songs or artist having a rank or other military words.
