Meanwhile, TRSW will be testing use of 15770 kHz via WRMI on Wednesdays throughout August. The 3 August broadcast includes 21 versions of The Yellow Rose of Texas, with Martin 1 SSTV images inserted at approximately 18, 32, and 46 minutes into the show. On subsequent Wednesdays, shows will be encores of artist tribute programs: Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly,  Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Roy Orbison. Special eQSLs will be available for correct reception reports of the test transmissions. TRSW would like to see the decoded SSTV images. Reporters should identify which version(s) of the song they heard by using Shazam or a similar program.
