Song "we wish you a merry Christmas" as a rock tune, fair/poor, weak signal, R2000 & dipole.
Heavy metal tune, "run run Rudolph." Heavy metal "Santa Claus is coming to town."
Local neighborhood QRM is slowly drifting down from 6960 to cover up this weak signal. Darn.
Several seconds of heavy metal "silver bells" and more QRM from OTH radar if that's what that is.
Barely heard a version of "little drummer boy."
Thanks Markokpik for the SSTV/FAX reception of the Pee Wee QSL picture.

Yesterday 22 Nov 2017 was the 30th anniversary of the infamous "Max Headroom" hack of both WGN-TV channel 9 and WTTW channel 11. On the 10 o'clock news on WGN-TV they ran a story of the event. They showed off-air tapes from both stations. Back then CH9 was able to quickly change microwave frequencies between their north side studios to their downtown Chicago transmitter and the sports guy who was on at time said he didn't know what that was then kept going. 2 hours later during Dr Who, CH11 got hacked for 2 minutes and this time there was sound. CH11 was not able to switch microwave freqs in 1987 and had to endure a full 2 minutes of Max Headroom, including Max getting spanked by a female on his bare butt with a fly swatter. I recorded last nights story on DVD.
