This was a bit of a challenge to sort out.  For nearly an hour, I heard what sounded like Northern Relay Service on 6930.4 AM and, starting around 0210z, a second AM station on 6932.6 with definite IDs as WBNY.  Both stations took turns peaking and fading out, both here on the home receiver and via two Global Tuners remotes (Wisconsin and Colorado).  The proximity kicked up a heterodyne that I was able to filter out using a Radio Shack DSP unit.  Generally, NRS was stronger here at home and on the CO tuner; the WBNY station was somewhat better via the WI tuner.  The WBNY show sounded like Commander Bunny was complaining about bloggers, but due to noise and fades it was difficult to get any sense of the context.

Around 0240z I distinctly heard an OM voice saying "WBNY, WBNY, Dr. Benway says hello" two or three times, but I cannot be sure it was actually Dr. Benway or even whether it was live on mic or a recording played by an unknown party.   ???

I was receiving NRS here weakly from tune-in at 0145.  At 0200, a euro started up on 6935.  I moved up to ID it - techno and yl pop loop, interspersed with ID, sounding Dutch.  "Echo - kilo - india" was repeated in the background using numbers station yl voice.  This was completely wiped out by WBNY Jamming Service coming on at 2010.  But its all good.  I understand the neccessity of running a retread "Pirate Family Feud" show irregardless of who else is on.  Thank you, Commander Alligator...

It's a shame what that insane idiot we all know who I'm talking about) does.  He was on 6925, but deliberately moved up to jam NRS.  He apparently thinks he owns the airwaves, the Internet, etc., etc.  Now watch, he'll/they'll now probably slam me on one of his/their "shows," and I use that term very very loosely in his/their case, on his/their "blog" (and again I use that term loosely--I guess it should be more like rants in all of these cases), and his/their Prate Radio site.  I understand mental illness, but this clown really seriously needs professional help.

BTW, 6936 would've been Malta Radio, from Catalunya (Spain).

ff:
Thanks for the ID Alex.  I didn't know and was doing a slow burn.  Yeah, we're both probably fresh fodder for his grist mill now...

avranesjr:
 ;) Oh, well ......
If you need help contacting Malta, let me know.  He's an old radio friend and has been op of several other stations, and has website.  He very much appreciates reports, and is very very good QSL'er.  Send me e-mail/PM if you need more info.
