Captain Morgan
6924.7USB, 2314-2345, SIO 242/242. Program of rock music with their signature Twilight Zone theme song clips here and there. Male announcer voice hard to copy until I figured out that the center freq was 300 Hz below 6925. Weakened at times, making copy difficult. (Zeller, OH/FRW #697)
Cat Butt Radio
6925USB, 0122. Signal good-fair with static. Audio problems and dropouts. Female DJ, punk rock by female bands. (Hassig,IL?FRW #697)6925USB, 2122-2132. SINPO 35433. Catt Butt Radio followed station XXP sign off. (Ragnar/FRW #697)
Jack Buck Radio
6925USB (tentative) 0002-0010, SIO 242. Program of rock music. Announcer's ID at open and close of programming. It sounded like Jack Buck to me, or similar. FRN people were calling this one Cat Butt. The actual ID is unclear. (Zeller, OH/FRW #697)
Radio Casablanca
6940AM, 0214-0334. Very entertaining program of period music related to classic movie Casablanca. SINPO 32333 with good audio, fairly steady signal with some fades and occasional interference from local RFI (bad streetlight in my neighborhood). Blue Skiy (confirmed by Radio Casablanca via e-mail), I'm In Heaven (artist unknown), Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon. Positive ID as Radio movie Casablanca.

Voice of the Robots
6925USB, 0021-0043, SIO 333. Station ID and music. ID at 0024, and (?) rap-like song, more music at 0027. Station ID at 0030 in robot-like voice to gmail adress a couple times(?). Hard to tell but thought he also said time is wasting, then some SSTV or QRM from SSTV?. Music at 0031, and 0043 ID and QRT. (Silvi, Ohio/FRW #697)
We Monkey Radio
6925USB, 2120. SINPO 35333. WMR coming in with some slight and fast fading. Program repeated at 2135 (Ragnar/FRW #698)
Red Rhino Radio
6925USB, 0038-0102+, SIO 322. Radio ID at 0058 redrhinoradio@gmail.com. Most of the stations music distorted, but much cleaner after the 0050 SSTV, and seemed to drop from 6925.1 to 6925.0. Tough copy. Per e-mail from RRR, the SSTV was not them, so probably the main source of the apparent distortion. (Frodge, MI/FRW #697)
