Excellent signal here at 2202 UTC with Boney M Christmas tune! As soon as Radio Jingle Bells relay on 6400 closed down, I headed here pronto!
I was never a fan of Slade, but that "Merry Christmas Everybody" is a really nice song... :)
...Little Red Rooster, woke me up on Christmas Day....nice slide guitar!

Into Central Michigan too with 2014 Christmas Special. +15db signal here, with Christmas music including "I Saw DADDY kissing Santa Claus" and "Mary did you Know"  .... Charlie Loudenboomer still sounds the same as ever but it has been a LONG time since I've heard this station! :)  
DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

QSLs appreciated! radioguy73@gmail.com

Pirate Radio Boston, 12/21/14 at 2213 UTC, 6945 kHz USB,

VERY nice S-9 signal with strong modulation, playing a Christmas song, with an ID and shoutout to Harry Smith just prior.

Sounds best about 6945.03 on the Icom R-75...
