6952.7 here. Signed on with YL talking, synthesized voice, difficult to tell what she was saying. Sounded like an ID and contact info?

Then into Silent Night. S9 signal here.

BZN Radio ID and SSTV at 0102z.

myteaquinn has better copy on the SSTV than I do.

S9 but lots of static crashes.
YL mentioned a web address and 'most popular group from the Nederlands'.  Missed the ID though.
Then into "Silent Night" @ 0052.  Good audio other than the high static crashes.
"B Zed N Radio" ID @ 0102 and into SSTV



"Little Drummer Boy" @ 0116.







and ended with a repeat of the first SSTV image




Off @ 0158.
Thanks BZN Radio!

Fairly weak here and the band is noisy. Heard YL talking and then SSTV.

Seems to be coming in better at 0140z. I can hear Joy to the World.
