    • My radio reception videos
0104 Testing
0105 Wolverine ID into "Let's Make Christmas Merry, Baby" Amos Milburn
0108 "Christmas Spirit" Julia Lee
0111 "Hello Santa Claus" Cecil Gant
0114 Wolverine ID into "Christmas Time, Part 1" Jimmy McCracklin
0116 "I'll Be Home For Christmas" Fats Domino
       Reception is good, SIO 333-444.
0119 "Santa Claus, Do You Ever Get The Blues?" Roomful of Blues
0122 Drunken DJ live with Christmas greetings. Something about 4020. Frequency change?
0125 I think I hear it weakly on 4020. Boo! It was a thousand times better on 6950.
0127 there's bad noise on this frequency, can only just tell that there's something under it.
0140 it's starting to be copyable.
0226 SSTV audible
0228 OM voice audible, presumably Drunken DJ, but too weak to make out
0229 another SSTV
0232 music?

Thanks for the show! Merry Christmas Wolverine!

S5 to S6 here @ 0113 with "Hello Santa Claus" by Cecil Gant, followed by ID.  Pesc QRM is pretty heavy, plus WI2XJP on 6952 at times with PSK.
0115 - "Christmas Time, Part 1" by Jimmy McCracklin
0122 - Wolverine announcing frequency change, 4020khz
0125 - signing on 4020 khz, S9+ here!
0127 - starting show over with "Let's Make Christmas Merry, Baby"
0205 - still S9+ with "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Night" by Pretenders
Ended with SSTV and shoutouts, and apology to MDK2 for his poor signal after the frequency change.

Thanks for the great Christmas tunes!  Merry Christmas

Fair signal here in Southern California but not sure of the song at this minute. Sounds like 50's rock n roll?
