Northwoods Radio
6925USB 0134-0202*. 19 July 08. English. A show featuring biting political satire and rhetoric. Several IDs. Nicely done show. F-G. (Wood, TN).

7/19, 6925USB. 2222 to 2255 sign off. Interesting program of political commentary, with mention of Barak Obama, Ron Paul and a “message of hope for you from tri-forgetting.” Announcer noted that by the year 2100, there will be only five smart people left on earth. (He is optimistic, as I would put the number at zero) Full ID at 2228: “This is Northwoods Radio broadcasting freedom from the Great Lakes.” Final program ID at 2255, including Morse code beeps. SIO=353, heavy static bursts, but readable signal. (Insinger, NJ) Northwoods R. and WBNY- 6925USB 0116-0120 7/19/08 SIO=242/141. Loon noise Interval signal at sign-on , but immediately into a discussion of the election by Commander Bunny. This could have been a Northwoods Radio relay of WBNY. The signal deteriorated greatly at 0120, so a more definitive ID was not feasible. (Zeller-OH)

Sycko Radio syckoradio@yahoo.com
7/13, 0130-0138, 6925USB. Program of music at tune-in. Had difficulty cleaning up the signal &and finally settled on 6925.4. Sycko appeared to have modulation problems tonight, though I was able to make out a clear ID at 0138: Sycko Radio All Right. Then played Jefferson Airplane.
SIO=353/2. (Insinger, NJ)
