Very weak in NH, down in the noise most of the time. Too weak to copy the op when he's talking.
Heard "Coming into Los Angeles", "Don't You Make Me High (Don't You Feel My Leg)", "Don't Bogart That Joint", Paul Harvey doing a bong ad? Other nice boogie, ragtime, jive tunes...
Jimmy Durante "Inka-Dinka-Doo", "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better"
-
Fair signal here, about s5 with fading
Thanks for the show & Happy New Year!!!

S2, Just at the noise in Kentucky. Occasionally peaks up. Heard 'Wine-O Baby Boogie'. Also 'Rock Mountain High' @ 0143z, followed by 'Bush Doctor'.
Much stronger signal and nice audio @ 0330z playing parody songs - '7-11', 'Rhythm and Booze', 'Man from Tennessee'
One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer by Thurston Harris @ 0343z
Still going strong at S8 to S9 when I briefly tuned back in at 0730z, just in time to hear a nice clear WICA ID.
Thanks for the great show!
-
00:14z I first started recording this signal
A noisy S5 - S6 but the modulation was too thin for me to ID the music.
01:53z Last time I looked and the signal / modulation was the same.
This remains an UNID for me..
-
I've been listening for the last 15 minutes but the static level is just too high.
02:16 a song with a mention of the FBI if I heard that correctly.
02:18 LSB traffic from south of the border coming in to make things worse
02:19 talking about states that have legalized weed and then into unknown tune
03:08 tuned back in and signal has come way up to S8/S9 at peaks with clean audio
04:34 Captain Morgan Shortwave on same frequency. Both stations solid S6...what a mess.
-
Still here at 0155 with a pro-pot program, talk a by OM [Phil Muzik?] at 0158 on why marijuana was made illegal, song "Legalize It" by Mojo Nixon.
0214 Song "Friendly Neighborhood Narco Agent"
0219 States legalizing pot in 2012.

0249 Song "Selling That Stuff" by McKinney's Cotton Pickers
0336 OM Mentioned "back to the ----- show". Anncouncer seems to have Southern Appalachian accent
0358 Lost audio here....
If this were a legit station, where are the legal IDs, ADs of if a college station, PSAs???
I just went to WIBA website and is 1310 AM News Talk and listened to their web feed and it is news talk not this program.
The show was very tightly and professionally produced, maybe an internet "radio" station.. I wonder how you search for them?
Nice going AY, I fell asleep during Captain Morgan, lol.
PSE QSL TO: Chris Lobdell, Box 80146, Stoneham, MA 02180 Thanks!

UnId, 6050 AM, 0227, 1/1/13. Woman with scatted song (don't know it.) Talk by Op. but can't really make it out.
0240 ish Yodled version of "There's a tavern in the town."
Several other songs with talk between.
0301 "W???" and into another song.
Just above the static.
-
Good, steady +9 signal into upstate NY w/ nice audio.
Op gave live time check at 0300 and IDed "WICA, Milwaukee"
and back into music
-
Thanks, ff. Thought I heard a "WYCA" ID around 0058, but wasn't sure.
-
I've been listening to this for a while, but the signal was really poor in S5 noise here for a long time. Starting to get decent here on peaks, but really deep fades. 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?
Mostly the signal was weak in noise here, but after Captain Morgan signed off the freq, the levels came up really nice for a little bit. Heard "Junk Food Junkie" by Larry Groce, "Want a Fried Pie," and "7-11" song set to the tune of "Stairway to Heaven." In there was a singing WICA ID. It was a nice & clear spliced-together ID, so it seems pretty certain that this was a pirate ID & not a relay of a licensed station. Also had a nice chunk of an announcement with the announcer IDing the recent tracks & mentioning that this is the "Guy Pagana Show"
Nice to hear this & be able to finally pick some details out!
Thanks for the show & please QSL:

WIBA is a legitimate AM station in Milwaukee.

Heard on g3 portable while walking my dog. I was only able to get weak carrier inside on R75. able to copy fairly well outdoors away from houses & streetlights.

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.
