Signed on directly into music, good signal, except for the OTHR QRM. Sounds like Christmas pop music.
1311 "Lonely This Christmas"
1316 Big fade out, 43m isn't quite ready for NVIS yet.
1324 Faded back in, Cool AM ID.

Light into NE Ohio, about s-3 with qsb; playing xmas music.  About 100 kc's of the band is getting hammered by some type of utility signal from ~6850 to 6960?  Pops up and then drops but Cool AM Radio is right in the middle of the mess.
