I am hearing an AM stn on 486kc with a fair sig, with fades down into the noise. They are playing instrumental Christmas Music and a male and female announcer. Can't quite make out the call sign, but starts with a 'W'...maybe an experimental call. Time 1141-1148Z. Its after 12Z now and they are vry weak and into the noise .

I think I answered my own question. The xmsn is probably an annual BC by WA1ZMS/4 in VA. Info on You Tube....Bill

For those who missed it (including me):

As in years past, he will be conducting the Fessenden transmission on Christmas Eve, as well as New Year’s Eve. The plan is to start each day around 1800z and run for 24 hours.

Heard S6 at 0140Z on 25 Dec 2022.  I was using a Wellbrook loop and a KiwiSDR, located in Northern VA.  It wasn’t audible on a end fed wire due to local EMI.
