I really don't think so because the IDs were only old commercial station IDs and spliced-up commercial station IDs. At least some were definitely WMAR. There was no DJ talking & I think WNKR always ran with DJs, contact info, etc. This was something else & my guess is that the somewhat soundalike IDs (e.g., WMKR) were there for the sake of confusion

I tuned in at 0301 last night & listened to a few songs, including "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (not the original Alice Cooper album version...maybe live?). Then, a '60s ska song came on & I went to bed, but I recorded the show for 2 hrs. Really interesting mix of music & fun show to listen to.

0310 singing promo (but no ID)
0311 Dave Clark 5 "Glad All Over"
0312 '60s instrumental song with sax solos
0314 spliced WMAR ID
0314 Doors "Break on Through" (a live version)
0321 "All the King's Horses" (I think it's Aretha Franklin)
0322 clear spliced ID (definitely sounds like W-M-A-R)
0326 Motley Crue "Smokin' in the Boys Room"
0327 spliced WMAR ID
0327 Desmond Dekker & the Aces "The Israelites"
0331 singing ID, almost certain "W-M-K-R"
0332 Scorpions "Always Somewhere"
0339 Kraftwerk "Autobahn"
0401 "W-M-A-R, Motor City Memories" singing ID
0403 "W-M-K-R, Your Favorite Radio Station" (Poss "WNKR" ?)
0403 "With God on Our Side"
0409 Warren Zevon "Tenderness on the Block"
0414 James Taylor "Carolina in my Mind"
0417 Roger Hodgson "Had a Dream" (think it's been about 30 years since I've heard that one)
0424 Fantastics "Something Old Something New"
0427 spliced WMAR ID
0430 spliced WMAR ID
0431 The Mobiles "Drowning in Berlin"
0434 The Trammps "Disco Inferno"
0439 slow singing WMAR ID
0439 '60s guitar instrumental
0442 A different ID, I think still for WMAR
0442 Dionne Warwick "Do You Know The Way to San Jose?"

Thanks for the show!

Tuned in for a few min so far...Heard "Time" with the extended psych section.
BDM requested the Electric Prunes "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night"
Talking about how there are people listening to pirates from all walks of life, then about RTN being on the air and how he always plays music from vinyl (and that he might try an all-vinyl show)

I think there are stations on 6925, 6930, 6940, & 6950 right now!
Thanks for the show!

Just woke up from trying to sleep off the Winterfest weekend, checked the radio & heard voices on 6940. S9, no fading. Heard the Voice of Pancho Villa instrumental theme music & hit Record. Heard for about 40 seconds & off. That's it. Please QSL if possible & I have a short recording, if you'd like to hear it.   

Thanks for the show!
