Fairly good signal. Good audio despite local thunderstorm front. Thanks for the show.

Signal seems to get louder. Christmas song by rock band.

2226  About 30 dB above the noise.  An eclectic collection of songs.  Not distorted, but seems to suffer from too narrow a bandwidth.  35443 in Wyomissing.

2232 UTC Just tuned in, but signal is right at the noise floor. OM with ID, into unid song
2235 UTC Signal picked up a bit...unid Christmas tune...audio sounds much better using the 3.5 khz filter as opposed to the 6 khz filter.
2240 UTC OM with ID, followed by YL singers then sudden off

Watching a het since 2227.  Cam up at 2230 with some mellow rock then into "Merry Christmas baby" (blues), ID then dropped out leaving a tiny inaudible het.

S5 when it was in.
