Radio Ga-Ga, 6925u, heard here at 1240, then into SSTV, and
apparently off.

So what was the SSTV picture? Lady Ga-Ga?

No idea. I have no SSTV capability, though I know what it sounds
like.


Friendly suggestion:

If your computer has a sound card, you -do- have SSTV capability.

Get the MMSSTV program. It is widely available on the web, FREE and it
is excellent (many think it is the 'gold standard' of SSTV).

Take the zero dBm (line level) audio output from your receiver and run
it to the input of your sound card. (You can use speaker audio too, but
you may have to fidget around a bit adjusting the levels). Either way
will work just fine.

That's it! Easy to do and it opens a whole new facet to the hobby -- and
you can actually -see- what those pesky pirates are up to.
