0125 Sign on with music
0128 ID, WCBT? The high pitched voice made it difficult to decipher.
0128 Music, punk?
0129 ID again, same high pitched voice, giggling in the background?
0130 Music, started with a piano, then sounded punk again.
0132 Off

Mostly an S8 signal.
I have a recording of it here, if anyone would like to take a stab at the ID: http://www.radiohobbyist.org/blog/mypics/WPBT.mp3

Thanks to Beerus for help with the ID!

I'm going with "Childish Radio, WCBT" based on your recording Chris.

I missed this one, but if it helps I caught this station back 12-26-11 here: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,5878.msg13666.html#msg13666 .

The station was later confirmed by another Op to be Childish Radio and I added the audio to my IA collection here: http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/ChildishRadio6925_6Am0010z-0017z12-26-11.mp3
Indoors: WR-G33DDC & TT RX-340_DX Eng. 4-Square Array / Outdoors: Belka-DX_Whip / Poolside: SMC HF-150_MMD-40 (D.O.G.) / Off Air/Studio Recordings
