[amsat-bb] What happened to the ISS SSTV audio level?

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi Greg!

It was a low pass here in central Arizona, maximum elevation
of 5.4 degrees, and I noticed the audio sounded light. The
signal strength still pegged the meter on my TH-D74, but the
audio was not what I heard on the earlier pass. I will try to
tweak the audio to see if I can get anything out of the
picture. The first run through QSSTV on my Linux (Fedora 29)
laptop showed nothing. I also have RX-SSTV on a Win10 tablet,
and will try that next...

73!
