Really weak, but just came up with a couple of clear IDs in Spanish & English, maybe it's a sign-off announcement? Thanks for the show. My 1st time to hear RTA

Weak around 1910 UTC. Not sure if this is still Voice of the Rainbow or if this is still Nuttin' on Shortwave? Voice of the Rainbow was a station that I wanted to hear back in the mid-'80s or so.

"Meontological Research Radio" Weak/fair with emergency broadcasting network test parody, National Lampoon news, some odd music and IDs. I think this show was from 1990 & I'm not sure if it's ever been relayed since that year. Thanks to the relay station!

Weird. Sounds like the fake Radio USA with WWII-era German music. I've never heard of a recording of this floating around, so I guess this is original op, back to harass a variety of DXers

Thanks, Aurora. I listened to it about 100 miles in a different direction today & was thinking that it's gotta be the licensed WDND.

Considering the signal range, I'm starting to wonder if maybe this is WDND, running with a bare-bones format?

Yup, I'm hearing what ThaDood & Pigmeat are. I listened to it on the way home from work & was thinking about how often I go past a noisy pole pig or there's a fade out when a perfect place for an ID would be (reminds me of the address announcements on Radio Morania). A min or two later, got home & heard a clear "WDND, South Bend" ID.
I checked out the WDND website & they're running the feed from the FM sister station, which sounds *very* different from what we've been hearing. Also, I heard some ads from the FM & they're local. Does anyone know if the FM audio feed is simulcast on WDND or if they run separate programming?
Thing is that I can hear the Christmas station a large chunk out of the day & it wasn't audible at all for a couple of days about a week ago, which either means it's a pirate or the conditions were really unusual.
With the WDND ID, my guess is that either it's legit and the station's running separate programming from the FM (but this seems unlikely for some of the reasons mentioned previously), that WDND made a quick fade-in over top of the Christmas station (decent possibility), or that the op is having some fun (maybe having read our speculation about the operation?) and inserted the WDND ID.
Whichever it is, I'm entertained

I heard it across about 100 or so miles of PA in the car today. Christmas music, very occasional national ad blocks, and very occasional brief generic Christmas announcements by a woman--sounded like possibly from a pro jingle package. Weird thing about the station is that from the ad blocks that I heard, not a single one was for a local business or was a national ad with a local address tacked on. Also, the announcements sounded pro, but sounded like an ID or jingle should be inserted . . . but I haven't heard either. Given the coverage & audio quality, I thought it must be a licensed station testing with a Christmas theme before switching to a different format on the new year, but I ran a search on stations using the freq & nothing seems close enough to match.
