Various Christmas songs being played. Signal is weaker than normal for Captain Morgan. S-3
At 0245 hit hard by the static and mostly unreadable. And it sounded so good.

Got it nice in Lansing at 0240, S-9.

Very weak here, just getting bits of audio on peaks

[Rafman]

0252z ID as Rave on Radio, wished everyone a Merry Christmas
/off
Interesting, I'm not hearing anything of the Captain but when I tuned in @0250z, I heard the very last of RoR ann & the s/off...
It was right on 6925.0...

[John Poet]

Still hearing whatever I'm listening to, at 0303, S-6/S-7
"All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth"

Haven't actually caught an ID... but it wasn't/isn't Rave-On here.

Seems the signals are going long in different directions and we're listening to different stations! lol

Finally, positive ID and Twilight Zone theme at 0310, Captain Morgan Shortwave.

Captain Morgan informs me on last night's transmission, that this was a "Voice of Christmas" relay of a station from 1992, and he thought "it's a great program and I wanted to air it!!!!"

"If anyone out there has a QSL from this station and will post it I'll send them a special QSL."

So search your collections, you longtime QSL collectors!

6924.9, 0301, 12.23.14.  Weak music, squeaky talk that I can't make out.

Poor, just above static.

[clobdell]

The Good Captain about S-6 here with ID 0310, into instrumental Christmas tune.

[curious george]

Heard "Run Run Rudolph" at 0308, followed by Twilight Zone theme, then ID and Merry Christmas to all from Captain Morgan.  S7 in NY.

[ChrisSmolinski]

Just a very faint carrier here on the SDR recording, that became visible at 0252 when Rave on Radio signed off.

I didn't post last night but did have a chance to listen back on my cassette recording. Can't add much to what was already posted, but as follows:
Tuned in at 0234 UTC on 6924.9 KHZ AM with a weak signal mostly buried in the noise. Sounded like "Holly Jolly Christmas"-Chipmunks? followed by a high pitched voice mentioning "Christmas? (the only word I could make out)
0239 UTC "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree"-Brenda Lee
0242 UTC Heavy noise now, but was able to make out part of "12 Days of Christmas" around 0245 UTC.
0245-0252 UTC was basically heavy noise, but sounded like a man telling a story? May have been a peskie
0252 UTC "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas"-Burl Ives(Signal picked up, maybe S3 and above the noise)
0255 UTC ID by child?, then "Dominick the Donkey"-?Lou Monte?
0258 UTC "Jingle Bell Rock"-Bobby Helms?, followed by an UNID Chipmunks tune
0302 UTC Man announcer with..."You're tuned to.....Christmas...North Pole", followed by "All I Want For Christmas Is My 2 Front Teeth"-?
0307 UTC "Run Rudolph Run"-Chuck Berry
0310 UTC "Twilight Zone theme", then Man announcer(unable to make out what was said), and finally an Instrumental tune played on what sounded like a music box, then OFF

Couldn't tell who was who or what was what during the broadcast, except the Twilight Zone theme was a hint There was some pulse type noise from 0303-0308 UTC, maybe local. All times are approximate as they are at the mercy of the calibration on my cassette player

After seeing Chris S posting here http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19982.msg71111.html#new
I listened back to the ID before "Dominick the Donkey" and again before "All I Want For Christmas is My 2 Front Teeth", and it was just like the writing on the QSL card! "You're tuned to the Voice of Christmas, the only station broadcasting from the North Pole"

Received this reply in response to an inquiry regarding this broadcast.


We can confirm that we were on 12/23 from 0202z til 0254z playing Bob Dylan's Christmas In the Heart CD.
