2100z Sounds like Channel Z just signed on with a Christmas broadcast. S9 +10. Very nice copy.

2106z The signal suddenly almost totally disappeared. Can barely hear anything and can just see a carrier on the panadapter.

Checking the SDR recording, I had a nice SIO 444 signal at 2100 sign on. Peaked to SIO 555, S9+20 at 2114z then crashed to S1, where it is not at 2206z.
