WBCQ 6160 AM 2330 UTC 16 OCT 2021
« on: October 16, 2021, 2336 UTC »
Listening from NW Ohio on a small loop MLA30 antenna.  Fading in/out.  Claiming to be broadcasting from a ship off shore.  I can't seem to understand the radio name, I have too much interference.   
Currently playing Heart's "Barracuda"
Can someone provide the radio name?

Tuned in at 2353utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr, poor S9 signal with QRM, Radio Clandestine ID then hear Timtron speaking, oops this is really WBCQ. 
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Remembering that a European pirate station (Cruisin' Radio, IIRC)
announced transmissions via WBCQ.
0020 rock, good signal in Europe, 0025
