Just tuned in.  0047 IDed as "Merry Christmas from your friends at XFM".
Announced that most tracks in the first half of the show will be by Mannheim Steamroller.

A rendition of "The Snowman"...pretty cool!
Actually, sig strength up nicely to S7/S9+ during "Walking in the Air"

0126 T/C, couple of shout outs, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
0131 off

Generally, S5 on the loop, S8 on the dipole.  Some deep fading, in mod noise.

Thanks redhat, and Merry Christmas to you also!

It must have been "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" at JPL.  There appears to be the reflected image of a little girl in pyjamas in that reflective panel on the gold-colored wrap...

My rx was parked on 6925.00USB, when I heard the announcement "Okay, here we go...You are listening to
Turtle Head Radio". I heard nothing following. Previous TXs from THR seem to have all been LSB, so???

0211 A trace of music popping up here

@0222 I seem to be hearing both Turtle Head Radio AND Rave On Radio here.

On the loop, THR is weak and intermittent, ROR is inaudible.
On the Dipole, Rave On is strong, and THR is weak and barely audible.

Dance music heard here @2328. SINPO 35333.

Had a couple of Dylan tracks @ 2318 including "Hurricane", and into blues @ 2331.  I had this on 6924.74, but I was pretty sure it was AM, not USB.  Same station?  Weak signal but readable.
