Presumed the Community Radio Network station with old time crooner music, just above the noise floor here but fair on the occasional fade-ups.

0207z: The First Noel and into announcement and what sounded like a live time check.

Heard a station playing old music and some quick Christmas jingles tonight.
0224 - "Moonlight Serenade" by The Ray Eberle Orchestra.
The Sept. 11 memorial station occasionally fades up to dominate the frequency.

I'd love to know what music. I was just running a test broadcast with mostly Christmas music then went into a Devo escapade because I drank. Real curious if this rig is getting out on 1710kHz, long work in progress. Running 25 watts but the antenna needs far more work. I will probably run this all christmas on and off until it's perfected. http://darkliferadio.proboards.com/thread/1018/class-series-modulated-transmitter-build

I'm not saying aliens are in the radio, but aliens definitely are in the radio.

Slide up to 1720 kHz some night, if possible, and let's see if it's getting out.  I'm 99.9% sure that the station logged in this thread is our "West Rockingham" Community Radio Network station however.
