6925khz AM Fruitcake Station ??
« on: December 18, 2011, 2157 UTC »
Been listening since 2130.  Strong carrier, but modulation is not optimal.  SINPO 44432
2156 - Playing "Miss O'Leary's Irish Fruit Cake"  by Ruby Murray  (I think)
Anyone else have this??
2211 - Playing various songs about fruitcake (pretty obscure stuff, but entertaining).
2217 - YL announcer commenting on all the fruitcake jokes on the internet.  Modulation improved greatly and then went off the air.

Yes, I have it here as well, I have not heard an ID yet.
It sounds like the Fruitcake station I've heard several times earlier.
