This station was first reported on October 25, 2008, with music and SSTV.

Al Fansome, computer guru and DXer extraordinaire, determined that the image transmitted was actually a QR_Code.

You can run it through this online QR Decoder to produce the encoded text (after first adjusting the image so that it is a square again, as shown below):

The resulting text is:

data:text/plain, WPON6925@GMAIL.COM Subject: WPON

A very interesting way to transmit your email address. It would be interesting to see how resistant the decoding process is to noise in the SSTV image.
