Radio Jamba International via WBCQ relay

6/9, 7415 following the Doo Wop Cafe via Radio New York Int'l. Mix of island and C&W music, very enjoyable. Station ID as "Jamba Jamba Jamba" several times during program. Funny bit of PR News at 0215. Triple ID as "Radio Jamba International, Radio New York, this is Kracker Radio." Wow, could this possibly translate into three verifications? A radio lover’s dream! Good signal from WBCQ. (Insinger, NJ)
