6245.2 UNID (R. L'ARBOC again ???), 19.45-20.30 in Spanish. Pop and jazz, then long talk by W with background music, and maybe weak IDs. Bird cage noise before time pips at 20.30. Could it be someone relaying the Radio L'Arboc stream?

Ray,

It sounds like you logged the US pirate, "The Wave" on 6925 USB. Several logs of this reported on the FRN, and Ragnar has an audio clip, so you can listen and compare if it sounds like what you heard:

Thanks Jojo,

Thanks George.

I was not sure "the Wave" could be the name of a station, but no ID problem once I know about this station. 6925 is always a strange frequency...
