Via a recording.  Sycko's carrier appeared at 0152, but I didn't hear any audio until music at 0157.  Because of a weak signal (only 18 dB over the noise) and the noise itselt, the broadcast was generally unusable, but there were a handful of words at 0203 when I heard "Sycko Radio."  Sometimes, the Gods smile!  I heard another ID, this time by a YL, at a 0314 sign-off, repeated.  The carrier was gone at 0315.
