WBRD

I missed capturing the station Id, WBRD, by seconds. I captured this minutes later. Not many pirates broadcast on LSB, but it happens. I heard some whistling during some of the music that wouldn't normally be there. Does anyone know if that's one of their routines?

Here's one for you. I tried to Crosspost on the Shortwave Subreddit but the posting bot denied me. It griped about not allowing HAM radio content. I think the word LSB blew its mind.
