Pirate Radio Boston 6872.8 AM 1341 UTC 25 Dec 2021
« on: December 25, 2021, 1343 UTC »
1341 UTC Hearing music right at the noise floor...sounded like a parody version of "At 17"?
1343 UTC OM with ID "Pirate Radio Boston"
1345 UTC Reggae tune sounding like "O Little Town of Bethlehem"
1348 UTC No modulation, then OM with ID..."back for our annual Christmas show"....."Christmas show"...talk of QSL requests and PO Box address
1350 UTC Reggae version of "Twelve Days of Christmas"
1356 UTC 2 OM's chatting about non-QSLing stations, then into a Mailbag program
1405 UTC Reggae version of "We Three Kings"
(So far the signal is mostly solid above the noise with light selective fading and very pleasant sounding audio!)
1409 UTC 2 DJ's chatting, then a Beavis & Butthead style spoken word skit  ;D
1413 UTC ID, then back to listener letters
1420 UTC "Deck the Halls"-reggae-ish version
1423 UTC "Walking In A Winter Wonderland"
1426 UTC 2 DJ chat
1428 UTC Parody version of "At 17"....(great vocals! LOL!)
1431 UTC 2 DJ chat...ID and Stoneham, MA postal drop address, "Good Bye, Merry Christmas, and Happy Hannukah"
1433 UTC Reggae version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem"
1436 UTC OFF

Thank you for the old PRB Christmas show relay!  :)
Here's my recording of the show:

Tuned in to dead carrier around 1250 or so. Charlie & Mr. X reading listener letters, including one from Jerry Coatsworth. Announcing the old Stoneham, MA, address. All reggae Christmas music. Great to hear C & Mr. X again--even if it is an old show
