Very good via MD SDR, just barely audible via home rx with indoor antenna.

0052z Johnny Desmond "A Marshmallow World" and more Christmas songs. Excellent signal to MD SDR, still just barely audible via home receiver with indoor antenna.
0110z off after some tech issues, audio cut out, some hum in background. Very good signal and audio until then.
0115z SSTV, no copy here, good signal but wasn't setup for SSTV

Regarding the slight variations in the audio in that recording, it's all due to my fiddling with the USB filter to get a bit more bass and treble for the wideband signal, and tweaking the AGC threshold to minimize background QRN. There was very little fading with that enormous sky loop on that particular Maryland SDR. Can't beat a bunch of wire in the air for minimizing fading.
