Yeah, heard it Christmas Eve at 5PM EST, (22:00UTC? I need a dedicated UTC clock here, and Santa didn't bring me one.). Anyway, heard at work, on the truck stereo on 1710kHz, I heard Silver Bells fading in and out, then that Flight 93 TIS covered it.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Good signal at the same time here in NC, way over the Hudson County NJ TIS.

at 1800, "This is the community radio network.  We now pause for station identification."  Two tones, then M anncr sounded like he mentioned "The Breeze" or "The Bridge", and "1710 kHz and 87.7 FM" or similar wording.  Splash from 1700 covered him, will check at the next TOH on the high side only.  Then the same two tones and back to the xmas mx.
