Started weak, but rapidly improving.  "Merry Christmas Baby" by BB King @ 0149.
Up to S8 @ 0152 with Captain Morgan Shortwave ID
Occasional fades to S5, but mostly decent copy.
Carrier down to 6924.1khz
Fades getting more prevalent @ 0207, mostly S5 and fair to poor copy with "Feliz Navidad".
Barely audible @ 0213z :(

Thanks for the show!

Pretty sure this is what I'm hearing now at 0206 UTC, with a version of "Feliz Navidad".  Clear S8-S9 signal in NY.  I have the carrier closer to 6924.1 kHz.
 Bummer, went off at 0214 after Amy Winehouse.

Captain Morgan Shortwave, 6924.2, 0202 - 0214, 12.21.14.  "Silent night" maybe by Jimi Hendrix?, other music, off 0214.

I was involved with setting up a WinRadio g313e on a different computer, so I wasn't paying as close attention as I might have done.

Fair.
