SAQ Christmas Eve message  will transmit on 17.200 kHz, 12/24, 0800 UTC.  CW.  80kW.  VLF is where the real DX is!

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.

No copy of SAQ on 17.2 kHz.  Tried both an homebuilt amplified ferrite rod and the AMRAD active whip.  Conditions were fair with a copy of French FUE on 65.80 kHz.  Lightning in the SE U.S. was heard.
