Experimental Station WI2XLQ will recreate 1906 Fessenden transmissions again?

That should be different.    https://swling.com/blog/2021/12/experimental-station-wi2xlq-will-recreate-1906-fessenden-transmissions-again-this-holiday-season/

I can see the carrier here (at Dec 25 2021 UTC 0320), but no audio.

Tried a AFE822x with Wellbrook ALA-1530S+ and Yaesu FT-847 with a pair of Bonito Boni-Whip antennas into a Quantum Phaser.

Hey All,

Some years  back I tried for this one a couple of times. Never any luck.

I have visited the Fesseden site and got a few shards of the original tower insulators (FWIW).

I've always been fascinated  with Fesseden in general and the  Christmas / New Year's 1906 "broadcast" in particular.

This is a a repost of what I posted in Longwave Loggings:
 

1906 Fessenden Transmissions WI2XLQ, 486 kHz, 0440, 01jan22 UTC
« on: January 01, 2022, 0522 UTC »


I've been listening to this station for a while using Chris' KiwiSDR with the 500' beverage pointed toward Europe.
However reception is very good, mostly 59, in spite of much QRN and  the station being kinda off the back of the antenna.
0440 - 0515 Tuned in and listened to a loop consisting of: "O Holy Night" (on violin, I assume), a YL ID and OM description
            of transmission, and short reading from the Bible.

Thanks for this transmission OM and also a big thanks to Chris for providing the KiwiSDR.
