Tuned in at 2206 utc, weak sig, hear music above low noise level, RF-4900 & dipole.
(edit) Just found out it's a religious pirate. Come on, there is enough religion on the radio here in the USA.

Fair/poor sig with semi rapid fading, played "ballad of the green beret", old style jingles from the 60's, R8 & dipole. (edit) OOPS, I had a feeling this was not a pirate. Thanks, everybody.

Tuned in at 2334utc, good sig with low noise, hear song in Hebrew, R8 & dipole, excellent wideband audio, actual bass notes in ssb. (edit) "christmas wrapping" by The Waitresses, now "xmas polka". (2nd edit) At 0022utc played "F**k xmas" by Fear (I recorded that off college FM radio back in the 1980's which they played after I requested it). (3rd edit) Off at 0037œutc.

Just signed online. I have been listening to 4055am for about a half hour, weak signal, at first thought it was a tropical band station but seemed to be English language gospel music. At 0511utc they played "glory glory halleluia" which a foreign stn is unlikely to play. Still listening. RF-4900 & dipole. (edit) Woman speaking at length about something but audio so bad it's impossible to understand anything she's saying. At 0523utc organ music with singing. (2nd edit) preacher preaching but audio so crappy I can't understand a word, which is probably just as well.

Heard ID from DJ, fair sig, R8 & dipole. Now hearing what sounds like Jimi Hendrix, signal decreased to poor/weak.
(important edit) OOPS! It's Radio Free Euphoria. My mistake. At first I thought it was RFW. Sorry.
(edit) Freq drifted up to 6932 as of 0124utc.
