Pretty weak here at Disgraceland at 2245 tune in. Was playing a Christmas On the Ponderosa song. Transmitter is drifting like a Captain Morgan...

2246 just audible talk and music.  Hard to tell what it is other than it is in English.

S7 in noisy conditions.

Signal S-7+ on the Maryland SDR, but audio weak and about tied with the noise.
Can hear music playing, but not well enough to identify it...  2253 UTC

Johnny Cash and "Ring of Fire" popping up out of the noise at 2305....

Some kind of big ute or something "womp womp womp" popped up around 2312 for about a half minute,
but then ceased....

"White Christmas" at 2325 UTC
"Walking in a winter wonderland"  2330 UTC
"Silent night" at 2345 UTC

Sounds like 'news' at 2355, but tough copy...

2335 UTC: "Up On the Housetop" by Eddy Arnold.
