I decided to monitor the activity on 472 kHz tonight (630 meters). I fired up WSJT-X and saw that at least one station was in the holiday spirit.
Somehow, the transmitting station managed to send data that displayed “Ho Ho Ho” right in the waterfall, without any decoding.
It is nice to see that there are still surprises out there on the radio. They did seem to also transmit a callsign but it was not readable to me. Any ideas about who this Christmas elf is?

Dan,
You might contact Brian, WA1ZMS, in Virginia. I believe he has a license for 486 KHz and has been know to play Christmas music during the holidays on that freq. It wouldn’t be a stretch for him to QSY to 472 KHz.
