VG signal. Caught the end of an announcement "...always in style" into a medley of songs played on a stylophone, including "Holy Diver," a Metallica song, "Smooth Criminal," "Take on Me,"
"All Stylophone all the time, The Stylophone Station"
cover of "Thunderstruck"

Pretty great stuff

SINPO 44344 / S8 on peaks on an SDR in New England. Fine copy.
Pretty hilarious. Now do a keytar-only station.

0004 - Remake of AC/DC, "Thunderstruck".
0010 - ID: "It's not xylophone radio; it's stylophone radio. This is The Stylophone Station."  Remake of Eurythmics, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)."
0013 - Remake of Metallica, "Enter Sandman."
0018 - ID: "It's all stylophone, all the time. The Stylophone Station."
0020 - Remake of Motörhead, "Ace Of Spades."
0022 - Oh no, a non-stylophone song? "Exact" frequency appears to be 6924.97.
0026 - ID: Intro with a snippet of a remake of "99 Luftballons" then announcement, "You are listening to The Stylophone Station, where free radio is always in style", followed by a remake of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
0032 - A medley of 1980s-ish pop music on stylophone.
0035 - "This is The Stylophone Station."...then dead air.
0037 - Presumed off the air.
