WFRB 560 was Real Country 6930 AM 1506 23 DEC 2023

Station found on the KB3CS KiwiSDR. Lots of static and cutting in and out. Playing "Harper Valley PTA" at 1506 but can hear talking in the background.
1509 Santa Claus is Coming to Town
1512 Three Wooden Crosses by Randy Travis

Thanks for the broadcast! Merry Christmas!

Possibly not a pirate station, but in the bands for a pirate. I'm a newbie at this, so correct me if I'm wrong.

No reception locally. I'm listening to this now on the KB2CS KiwiSDR, and I heard what sounded like a commercial station ID. This could be an image.

Yes, confirmed, it's an image from 560 WFRB which is located near the KiwiSDR. Probably due to overloading the receiver. I'll move the logging.

Thanks for correcting me on that. I thought it was really weird being so high in the band but sounding commercial.
