Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

S9+ signal and good audio via the SDR at Fair Hill, Maryland, with some fading, noise, and a bit of interference from LSB peskies on this frequency ...

2325 UTC: "Where Was You At" by War.
2327 UTC: "City, Country, City" by War.
2338 UTC: Female-voiced ID: "You're listening to W-H-Y ... whiskey, halo, yankee." This was repeated a moment later as the end of "City, Country, City" played out.
2341 UTC: ID given again, then "Four Cornered Room" by War.
2344 UTC: Male-voiced ID in Spanish(?) as the song continued, followed by the female-voiced ID, this time with a new phonetic spelling: "whiskey, hopeless, yankee."
2346 UTC: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears with an extended opening section.\
2352 UTC: Female-voiced ID again: "You're listening to W-H-Y ... whiskey, hopeless, yankee." Then off.

Thanks for the music this evening, WHY. Please eQSL if you can!

Via a recording. 

WHY?  A female announcer clearly said "Whiskey Kilo Yankee" at 2338 and 2340.  Also, the "K" was clear at 2340.

e-QSL requested to [email protected]

Sorry I'm a bit late on posting this, I first tried to find an e-mail address to send it to as I have a sound file and snapshot of the waterfall.

23:16 Started with an instrumental loop of Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
23:19 Cisco Kid - War
23:23 Where Was You At - War
23:28 City, Country, City
23:38 WHY - Whiskey Hopeless Yankee ID
23:40 Another ID with four Cornered Room - War
23:44 Another ID (I thought I heard Kilo in there somewhere before)
23:45 instrumental loop of Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
23:48 Loop became the song - Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
23:52 WHY ID twice, silence then   Dropped Carrier

Reception varied, between a 3 to 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. I kept adjusting the bandwidth of the radio for best sound, but I had to adjust it quite a bit. I was using the Kiwi at Cape May County NJ
Currently hunting the elusive 104.5 oldies station somewhere in Northern Middlesex County, CT. [HEY! I want to do your voice-overs]
