UNID 6925 USB 2348 UTC 14 Dec 2018
« on: December 14, 2018, 2349 UTC »
Somebody's playing guitar-jamming rock. Well above the noise, but not a great signal here.

A long silent pause of several minutes, but the music's starting up again -- more guitar -- as of 0000 UTC.

And back to silence around 0006 UTC ...

Around 0011 UTC, Christmas music and then various songs played through about 0027 UTC. Now, the guitar solo music seems to be back. "Silent Night" on guitar played, then at least one or two different vocal versions of "Silent Night" followed.

SDR recording catch. Sign on at 2346, heavy metal guitar rock as described by others, just above the noise floor. Signal either went QRT at 2348, or the band went long for me at that time because I never had anything else at any of the times other listeners reported.
