UNID 1720 AM 2315 UTC 24 December 2020
« on: December 24, 2020, 2318 UTC »
Carrier tuning up prior to 2315z and now faint music being heard above the noise floor.  Off at 2318z but this channel probably bears watching tonight.

0158z: Thin Lizzy "The Boys Are Back In Town", signal weak and just above the noise floor, which is now filled with static crashes.
0232z: Dire Straits - Walk Of Life
0233z: Dire Straits - So Far Away
0248z: off mid-song
0251z: back but too weak to ID song
0259z: Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
0305z: Supertramp - Give A Little Bit

Not bad at times, but fighting a lot of noise. Supertramp "Give a Little Bit" at 0301. Nice to see some Christmas activity above the AM band again!
