IDs in Dutch "Radio Spinazie" and playing "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney on a loop - still playing same song 30 minutes later. ID in English heard "Radio Spinach." Said it is the only station playing this record non-stop today (!). Station off at 1704 UTC, DJ said same song playing on 5040 as well ..... yes, "Wonderful Christmas Time" on 5040 also.

Good signals on 6235 & 5040.
