Kandy Korn Radio 6972.9 USB 0009 UTC 26 OCT 2025
« on: October 26, 2025, 0010 UTC »
0009: Halloween themed music
0011: OM talking, listing off different candies, (Butterfinger, Hershey Kisses, Mr. Goodbar, 3 Musketeers, Reeses, Kit Kat, Jelly Belly, Snickers, Almond Joy, M&Ms, Jolly Rancher, Mounds, Starburst, Smarties, Candy Cigarettes, Hubba Bubba, Payday, Twix, Junior Mints, Milky Way, Twizzlers, Milk Duds, Nestle Crunch(?))
- a sweet take on numbers stations. Brilliant!
0046: sort of died out, EOT

Thank you for the show! Making me hungry.

I read one time that this is really a clandestine attempt by the ADA to actually promote tooth decay. By constantly bombarding listeners with candy names, unsuspecting victims respond to an uncontrollable urge to indulge. Do Not Fall For It!

0011: Have a man saying different words? Got it now, different candies.

So instead of a numbers station it's a candy station.

Naming candies : kit kat, 3 Musketeers, jelly beans, M&M, candy cigarettes, etc. I would name it Halloween Candies Radio. Could be an alternative to number stations telling someone the run to follow to get all the candies named.
Maybe our friends from Halloween Sounds Radio.
some interference at 0023

S7ish signal heard with good audio via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland with some noise ...

0028 UTC: Male voice giving candy names in five-word groups: "Snickers ... candy cigarettes ... Hershey Kisses ... Starbursts ... Mr. Goodbar ..."
0033 UTC: Still going with the candy names: "Three Musketeers ... Butterfinger ... Junior Mints ... Twix ... Almond Joy ..."
0037 UTC: He has a really clipped pronunciation of "Jolly Ranchers!"
0042 UTC: This "numbers station" is really making me hungry -- still going as of 0042 UTC.
0044 UTC: Heath Bar mentioned. Still no mention of Mars bars, which are my favorite but now not sold in the U.S.
0046 UTC: "Candy corn ... candy corn ... candy corn ..." This one was repeated numerous times, then a short interval tune, then off.

Trick or treat and thanks for keeping 43 meters weird!

Good copy here on the SDR recording.

A spy numbers parody, starting with a song about not liking Candy Corn, followed by an OM reading off a series of Halloween candies... certainly not a keto friendly broadcast  ;D

Here's an mp3 from my SDR recording:
