Strong S10+ signal and very good audio heard via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland, with some noise and slight fading ...

2138 UTC: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra.
2140 UTC: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Andy Williams.
2143 UTC: Male host on the mic: "Christmas music brought to you by Ion Radio." Then, "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby (famous son of Spokane, Washington!).
2146 UTC: "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" by Dean Martin.
2148 UTC: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft.
2151 UTC: Host doing an shout-out, then "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Bing Crosby (not kidding about his Spokane roots. His childhood home sits on the campus of Gonzaga U, where I got my master's degree).
2153 UTC: "Christmas Time is Here (Vocal)" by Vince Guaraldi Trio.
2156 UTC: "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" by Baker Grace.
2159 UTC: "Frosty the Snowman" by Bing Crosby.

Gotta walk our dog now. Thanks for the cheery music on a very gray and wet day up here in the Pacific Northwest!
