Catching old radio show on 6770, what sounds like Amos and Andy maybe. About a S7 here but suffering from lots of fading. The frequency suggests it is Old Time Radio, very popular with them.

Hearing them also 0118 utc. S6 noise floor but drifting above the noise at S7 to S8 at times. Definitely sounds like Amos n Andy and a skit about a car. Heard mention of a rumble seat and going to the electric chair. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

0138 UTC barely audible and noisy from Global Tuners St Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia node.  Old comedy routine, thought I heard Gracie Allen as well.
