21:34 UTC - Weak unreadable. Slight carrier burried in the noise and no audio heard.

Someone turned on the high voltage "noise maker" somewhere in the neighbourhood so the band is currently wiped out with S7 background static noise. This UNID noise source pretty much wipes out the band from 4 MHz to 8 MHz.

Exact frequency is 6948.23 kHz. S9+20 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR, very low modulation. Listening in Sync AM lower to avoid QRM from Peskies on 6950 USB.

2155 UTC-Feliz Navidad
2156 UTC-Jingle Bells with OM talking over it
2213 UTC-Cloudsplitter Radio ID, still very low modulation
2218 UTC-2000 Miles by Pretenders, modulation better (but still low)
2220 UTC-Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by Frank Sinatra & The B. Swanson Quartet (modulation down again)
2223 UTC-Band went long leaving only a carrier, switched to the KX4AZ KiwiSDR in Michigan where the signal is S9
2228 UTC-YL with station ID

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.
