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"

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.

0232 Song Cocktails For Two" by Spike Jones.
0241 Song "Makin Whoopie" The Merry Macs
0246 Song "I'm Drinkin Bourbon" by ??[first time I've seen Shazam say "by unknown artist!]

0336 OM Mentioned  "back to the ----- show". Anncouncer seems to have Southern Appalachian accent

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.

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:
