Having returned from Starbucks with a cup of Chanukkah Blend Coffee I turned on my Excalibur and spun my Wellbrook Dreidel Loop.  I can hear Happy Hanukkah on 6950 with "Miracle of Miracles" from DXer On The Roof.   Now it's Adam Sandler's "Chanukkah Song" (which I don't believe was in existence when this station first aired).  

Maybe next year Adam's updated version of the song will include names of DXers who are Jewish or goyim.

Weak here but the girl playing "Burn Little Candle" on the toy piano always cuts through the noise.   The little girl is probably a grown woman by now.

Now that Chanukkah is almost done, I'm looking forward to hearing Tu B’Shevat Radio on January 25.   And of course, Purim Pirate Radio with announcer Mordecai Ammoniac on March 23.

Thanks for the show!

Got this too here up here in Pirate Network.  Pretty good signal, with some quick fades.

I remember this one from way back. The 90's I think.
