WBCQ 6160 AM 2110 UTC 25 NOV 2025
« on: November 25, 2025, 2149 UTC »
on 6159.93
very weak
2110 music, 2118 "Hey Jude" (NOT // with 3975)
2128 M+W talking in E, "Na na hey hey kiss him goodbye"
2140 Cream ?, 2145 "Whole lotta love", 2151 "Imagine"

After 2200 : same offset, playing brass band records, and talking seems not in E

2226 WBCQ !   Same vintage records, 2240 fading up slowly

BTW, I remember WBCQ disturbing Channel 292 on early mornings in Europe, because not on spot 6160.00 like Channel 292

I'm thinking this is WBCQ (Monticello, Maine), in particular after 2200 UTC "The Marion's Attic" show (produced in Connecticut) that plays vintage music on antique players.  The language is English but one woman heard is a gimmicky voice of an elderly woman.  WBCQ does not list much on its website for 6160 but they also list programs no longer transmitted.  Good reception here with high noise floor.

2228 YL gives WBCQ and Marion's Attic ID - program is from several years ago as she had read special program event for Marion's Attic and Uncle Bill's Melting Pot (long off WBCQ)
