Not sure of the exact sign on time. Very loud, S9+20 / SINPO 55545 on an SDR in New England, USA.
~0007 - ID.
0010 - Billy Squire, In the Dark".
0013 - Eric Burdon and The Animals, "When I Was Young".
0019 - "Clandestine calls you on the shortwave pirate broadcast band."
0025 - The Ramones, "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker"
0028 - REM
0032 - Cheech And Chong skit, I believe.
0046 - Multiple IDs.
0059 - Signoff announcement
Via WBCQ
It's true that this is normally their frequency but that this transmitter is somewhat off frequency makes me think otherwise. At one time, licensed stations were required to be within a certain tolerance of where they are supposed to be.
OK, OK. " American Debauchery" intro at 0104 UTC, so this is WBCQ. I got excited for nothing. Please move this to "Shortwave Broadcast", where it belongs. I'm surprised that they are ~70 Hz off frequency.

Was a tough catch here until signal improved massively here starting with the Cheech and Chong skit. Using more power? Or maybe just the ionosphere being more cooperative...
