Title: Fruitcake Station 6947.7 AM 0405 UTC 30 DEC 2023
Post by: DaveJV on December 30, 2023, 0408 UTC

0406  Guitar jazz mx.  No anmnts yet.

Fair signal and in the clear.  Some slight QSB.

0408  Abruptly off.  Off course as soon as I hit "post" the signal disappears.  Must have been someone testing.

0411  Maybe same station back on w/"Fruitcake" comedy dialog and mx.  Now in AM.
0412  "Happy Festivus everyone!".
0418  Jimmy Buffet
0421  "That fruitcake you got for Christmas, what did you do with it?"
0422  Song "Nobody Likes a Fruitcake".
0425  Bluegrass song "I Wish There Was a Special Day for Fruitcake" (I think).
0429  Sounded like the modulation was lowered.
0430  Sudden sign off.  No ID.

Strong signal.  A bit overmodulated.

SDR recording catch.

Signed on at 0405 UTC, before the station on 6950 USB went QRT, so a different station, also different programming.
Weak until 0411 when the signal came up.
Off at 0430 UTC.
