S9+20 loud signal with classic Christmas music.  Off at 0353 UTC.  I never caught an ID or any announcements between the songs.  Thanks for the show!

0222 -Silent Night with baritone OM vocalist. Much WQFG (Hudson Co. NJ) interference, but no at all overwhelming.
0239 Choir singing "Gloria."  Decent, mostly steady signal.

Just speculating, but could this be CHIM from Ontario?

0243 _ Instrumental of Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Checked CHIM "Listen Live" on their website and it didn't sync up with the signal on 1710.
0246 _ Next (instrumental song)

S9+10 with the Uniontown, PA KiwiSDR. QRM from the Hudson County TIS. I am guessing this is the Community Radio Network.

0246 UTC-Unknown Instrumental Music
0249 UTC-Next Unknown Instrumental Music
0252 UTC-Next Unknown Instrumental Music
0255 UTC-Unknown Choir Music
0354 UTC-OFF, no announcements heard at any time

I don’t think CHIM has been on 1710 for years, not sure what happened to them (did they move frequency or leave AM?).

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet.

I don't think so.  CHIM hasn't been logged in many years and they never had a powerful signal like this.

Agree, this signal is too strong for CRN and CRN would have thrown in an announcement by now (especially at the top of the hour).
