1430 UTC I have a carrier and some weak music fading in and out of the noise here. Not enough to ID the music yet, but maybe the signal will get stronger!
1432 UTC Shazam says the "Merry Christmas Polka"-Jim Reeves  :)
(S3 peaks now with deep fades...audio sounds excellent!)
1435 UTC "Last Christmas"-Wham! (Faded to noise level at 1439 UTC)
1440 UTC Signal is gone  :(
1446 UTC Brief bit of music faded up and gone again
A Merry Christmas to you Frans! Thanks for the Christmas Eve test!  8)

Merry Christmas Borderhunter, I'm happy to report that you're being heard right now here in Western Michigan, very weak but I hear your music just above the noise floor (sounds like Ram Jam / Black Betty @ 1449 UTC).
