Fruitcake Station 6949.5A 0029 15 December 2013
« on: December 15, 2013, 0030 UTC »
Strong signal---audio sounds distorted here, A version of Who let the dogs out. Seems to be a bit difficult to tune it exactly

Actually seems to be on 6949.5...AM, but easier to hear in USB or LSB mode.

Audio seems better 0035. Still distorted, but I can hear it in AM or SAM now.

Fruitcake song at 0049....Audio cutting in and out.

Off at 0057

I have this station at S5 on 6949.5 but there's a lot of rapid fading. Heard Who Let the Dogs Out and some other songs I'm not familiar with.

Nice S8 to S9 signal, audio is occasionally a little distorted and occasionally drops out briefly.
"Fruitcakes" by Jimmy Buffet @ 0034
"Christmas Time Again" by Lynyrd Skynyrd @ 0039z
"Who Let the Elves Out" @ 0052, then into "People Call Me Fruitcake" (spoof of The Joker).
Off @ 0057, no ID heard here.
Thanks for the show!
