Looked up WICA & WYCA...WICA is in Traverse City, MI (about 100 miles or so from Milwaukee), and WYCA is a Christian station in IL. So, maybe the ID is actually from/for this pirate?

This is just speculation on my part but...

I am in upstate NY.  I was fortunate enough to get a really nice, steady signal (for a change!!!).  And I'd bet the ranch I heard WICA. 

My vote goes to the hoaxer.  Whoever you are, thanks for the show!

I reviewed the audio from last night, and the clearest and cleanest ID heard here came around 0058, and it really does sound like "WICA, Milwaukee, the final frontier".

I am just going to accept this for what it was, a very interesting show which had me engaged for about 3 1/2 hours, and again, thanks to the OP.
