Fair to good signal heavily marred by ham QRM from tune in at 1811 UTC until Choral anthem at 1831 UTC sign off. Program in unid language with OM talks and Arabesque music. Best here in USB to avoid most of the Ham chatter. My first logging of this!

Hey CT Yankee.....uhhh....I'm sure I'll come up with something to give him! 

Interesting choice....personally I'm hoping for the Sox to pick up Jose Abreu...we need some hitters to go deep!

Thanks for the information Ed H! I've downloaded the Spectrum Lab and will have to study up a bit on the Help section to see if I can get it working properly. Yes, I have a direct patch from the Old analog NRD-515 to my PC. I regularly use Shazam, MMSSTV, and record using Audacity.

Hearing this now at 1711 UTC 29 NOV 2017 in Springfield MA with signal fading in and out of the noise floor...my first ID'able 22 meter beacon! "RF" 
1725 UTC Now mixing with another beacon "GNK"
Sadly, determining exact frequencies for CW with the NRD-515 is somewhat of a crap shoot! In fact, I have to off tune to hear them
