97.5 "Caribbean International Top Ten"...a syndicated program possibly airing on 97.5 Caribbean Connection which has been heard on this frequency before. Other stations pop up here including in Spanish  most weekday afternoons. Pirate stations here interfere with WALK which is licensed to Patchogue, NY. JRoot used to broadcast on this frequency before they were shut down. They eventually relocated to 95.1 where they sometimes play old programs with the 97.5 id.

99.3 interesting mix of funky jazz/classical...have heard English language programming here before with ads mentioning muscians from Grenada, and Flatbush furniture and hardware stores.

99.7 This station plays an unbroken stream of reggae and related music 24/7. I've never heard an announcer or any other programming. I suspect it might be programmed by a local store/club/restaurant for in-house use.

99.9 Reggae and related. DJ shouts out to listeners on Long Island. Legal station WHUD from Peekskill, NY can be heard briefly underneath.

This could be 99.3 Star Fm www.starfm.nyc

This is what happened when I asked ChatGPT to write a country song about a trucker who has tea with Queen Elizabeth whilst they listen to BBC on shortwave radio. Then I got Chris Johnson, an extremely talented and savvy musician, to set it to music.

Tea With The Queen

A welcome song for rootIO sung by members of Gwoke in Patongo, Uganda

This is the third of four chunks from our annotated mid-afternoon Independence Day ramble through the unlicensed side of the FM band as heard in Flatbush, Brookyn. This part of the bandscan features 7 stations broadcasting between 97.5 and 101.5 mhz. I've plugged in station names in where I know them. Help with unidentified stations is welcomed.

A Track from a new project I've started, called Poppet. The lyrics will consist of ramblings on sorcery, rituals and folk magic.
A Poppet is a doll used in folk magic rituals as revenge.

Poppet - A Ritual Most Foul

Brooklyn pirate radio regular 103.1 was on the air with faint street noises for at least 30 minutes. Eventually, something metal falls on the ground, a door opens and two guys chat for awhile. Finally,  they seem to notice something's wrong. They go briefly to dead air, and come back with Soca, their regular programing.

103.1 Street Noise 5:24 pm EDT 5 - 10 - 16

An epic piano metal cover of Mr Brightside by the Killers. It's probably less of a cover and more of a complete butchery.
