6925USB *2132-2146* 6/15/08 SIO=242-. Odd program of mostly novelty music. Squealing noises at times and some garbled talk. No ID until the close, when they gave an ID with their slogan of broadcasting from the Great Lakes. Generally poor intelligibility. No address heard. (Zeller-OH)
Radio Maple Leaf
6925USB 6/22 2340-0015 (presumed per entry at HFUnderground) There was a break in the middle, so I'm not sure if I heard 1 or 2 stations. Lots of music by Blue Rodeo, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, making me wonder if this is from Canada. 40 meters has been quite noisy lately,
and had to use my transceiver's filtering just to hear anything. Announcements by OM. PSE QSL (will reimburse). (J. Miller, MI)

6925USB, 2140-2202*, 17-June; Beatles’ & other pop tunes & bits; "This is real pirate radio." Off with "Vote Vegetarian...this is Ed Wynn for RPR." Peaks at SIO=353 but very fady & mainly at QRN level. (H. Frodge-MI)

faint. (J. Wood, TN).
