0007 - OM & YL talk. "Coast-to-Coast," followed by Here Comes Santa Claus. Fair signal with a good amount of noise, but crisp audio helps audibility.
0012 - Male announcer mentioned  "...on your shortwave dial." Silver Bells with female vocalist.
0017 - The Christmas Holiday song (Brenda Lee?). Still fair with lots of noise tonight.
0022 - Male vocalists with Frosty the Snowman. Signal has improved somewhat. Male and female announcers at 0024. Mentioned North Carolina.
0030 - Female announcer: "I'm so glad you...." (Signal is better, but noise and now, slightly muffled audio impact audibility. Can clearly hear snippets of conversation, and unsure of the rest.)
0037 - Santa with "Merry Christmas!" Song with male vocalist follows (....make sure you're as good as you can be...").
0039 - ID and mention of "the shortwave dial," and thanks to listeners.
0041 - "Brain Brothers" ID followed by female vocalist with Silent Night.
0049 - The Star Spangled Banner with a male vocalist. (Music at better level than voice. SINPO=34232; There was a het for a few minutes, otherwise the I would be a 5.)
0045 - Talk by announcers. Female announcer mentioned "pirate radio network."
0049 - NA
0052 - JFK with "Ask not..." quote and off.
