At 2138 UTC, I heard a Christmas song by a barbershop quartet.  Signal has really degraded in the past few minutes, perhaps the band has gone long?

6950.3 AM SIO 222

23:03z Right at or barely above the noise floor - can tell there's audio, but that's it.

Been listening here for about an hour.  Occasionally pokes up above the noise with trace audio and rendering in the SDR, but no more.

I can detect a carrier here on 6950.3 and occasional threshold audio but not enough to ID songs right now at 2217 UTC.
