WNKR Relay 6925 AM 0250 UTC 13 March 2013
Andrew Yoder:
I tuned in at 0301 last night & listened to a few songs, including "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (not the original Alice Cooper album version...maybe live?). Then, a '60s ska song came on & I went to bed, but I recorded the show for 2 hrs. Really interesting mix of music & fun show to listen to.
0310 singing promo (but no ID)
0311 Dave Clark 5 "Glad All Over"
0312 '60s instrumental song with sax solos
0314 spliced WMAR ID
0314 Doors "Break on Through" (a live version)
0321 "All the King's Horses" (I think it's Aretha Franklin)
0322 clear spliced ID (definitely sounds like W-M-A-R)
0326 Motley Crue "Smokin' in the Boys Room"
0327 spliced WMAR ID
0327 Desmond Dekker & the Aces "The Israelites"
0331 singing ID, almost certain "W-M-K-R"
0332 Scorpions "Always Somewhere"
0339 Kraftwerk "Autobahn"
0401 "W-M-A-R, Motor City Memories" singing ID
0403 "W-M-K-R, Your Favorite Radio Station" (Poss "WNKR" ?)
0403 "With God on Our Side"
0409 Warren Zevon "Tenderness on the Block"
0414 James Taylor "Carolina in my Mind"
0417 Roger Hodgson "Had a Dream" (think it's been about 30 years since I've heard that one)
0424 Fantastics "Something Old Something New"
0427 spliced WMAR ID
0430 spliced WMAR ID
0431 The Mobiles "Drowning in Berlin"
0434 The Trammps "Disco Inferno"
0439 slow singing WMAR ID
0439 '60s guitar instrumental
0442 A different ID, I think still for WMAR
0442 Dionne Warwick "Do You Know The Way to San Jose?"
Thanks for the show!

6925Mhz
0630 tuned in
0800 signal dropped
Great music.
Good Drinking Songs!
The signal usually came in with lot of distortion, but would occasionally clear up to an almost perfect signal.
at the end of the broadcast they noted ‘from the south of England’.
I noted the call sign as WNJR. spliced in.

ChrisLobdell:
Well WNKR [West and North Kent Radio] is a pirate from England, could this have been a replay of an old show relayed in the USA.
Thanks Andy for the clarification and as you said WNKR always had IDs and talking with British accented DJs.
refmo:
I'm with Chris L on this one. I was under the impression that it was a relay of an old WNKR/WMKR broadcast.
Andrew Yoder:
I really don't think so because the IDs were only old commercial station IDs and spliced-up commercial station IDs. At least some were definitely WMAR. There was no DJ talking & I think WNKR always ran with DJs, contact info, etc. This was something else & my guess is that the somewhat soundalike IDs (e.g., WMKR) were there for the sake of confusion :)
