Tuned in at 0028 UTC to some insane OTHR buzzing - some fading, several songs about fruitcakes

0034 UTC - some more fading, hearing OM talking/singing (doesn't sound like an ID) good signal, especially on peaks
0042 UTC - several other tracks about fruitcakes, signal increased significantly...now just shy of S9
