The second one definitely has a repeated phrase. One possibility is "love for all time", or "love for all sites" With such a short repeated phrase it's hard to nail down which of the possibilities it is.

WBNY is actually the callsign of an FCC-licensed FM college radio station, originating from Buffalo State University in Buffalo, NY, USA, and operating on 91.3MHz. It was in operation during the time of this shortwave pirate, and the callsign itself has a storied history in the Buffalo, NY area.
@@RingwayManchesterPerhaps so, but the commenter wasn’t necessarily asserting either a causal or even a relational link. Rather, an interesting coincidental and (somewhat tangentially) relevant information set was shared here. Such things I appreciate as they add a bit of spice to a story and as I enjoy to learn novel information.
91.3 kHz is alphanumeric anagram for 3(c) 9(i) 1(a). I grew up local and f'd with pirate radio broadcast, often. Most of these broadcasts are for resistance groups but the #1 intelligence asset recruitment tool. Only top tier code makers and breaker can decode.
I remember some of these broadcasts when I was in the Navy. I made no recordings, but I feel I should have. I tried to get a Bunny for President tee, paid for it but never got it. Thanks for the memories. Peace
The tyre pressure thing relates to tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on cars. TPMS use radio frequencies to transmit the tyre pressure to your cars ECU, to be displayed on the dash. Anyway, they transmit on license free bands, such as 315 MHz which can easily be received with an RTL-SDR.
The whole thing sounds like a front page story from the "Weekly World News" tabloid! Like "Hillary chooses Bigfoot as her running mate!" And who could forget..."I was Bigfoot's love slave!" 8-)
I remember when I was a child in around 1995 at the coach bus terminal in Montreal, a pretty woman made a call with public phone, and she played a noise from a hand recorder, that sounded like a modem connecting to the internet but with more tone . It had lasted less than a minute and no talk, she looked at me fixedly when she saw me watching her, before leaving. it was very weird.
I remember that day in Montreal, vividly. That was actually my wife... We "worked" together, at the time. She was concerned you had "discovered" her, and recommended action be taken. I told her not to worry about you, that you were no real threat, and to spare you. You're welcome.
Great video. I live in the u.s, and our pirate stations on shortwave were very strange. Usually jokes, and silly inside jokes. We used to have dance music wmpr years ago, the only one that actually had a normal music broadcast was wmpr, and XFM.
I picked up a few WBNY transmissions back in the 2006-2008 time period. As well as some other pirate shows broadcast by WBNY. I was active in reading all the forums related to the hobby of pirate DXing, including the FRN. Man, there was so much drama.....as I recall the full story of Commander Bunny and his real identity and location was revealed.
OMG the bunny voice sounds like the guy I call “The Radio Troll” that my dad watches on youtube. He is a radio repair guy and a total wingnut who uses about a thousand annoying sound bytes in every video and has a thing for ventriloquist dummies, and probably garden gnomes too. Talk about a trigger! I can’t stand to be in the house when my dad starts watching his videos (fyi my dad is 82 and very much a stereotype). Ack!

The "Tire pressure" maybe a reference to George Carlin? It was part of a skit about God talking to a TV evangelist in his dreams.Telling him to check his tire pressure in the middle of the night.
I seem to remember a pirate FM station in Hollywood, FL that upset drivers' keyless entry and/or TPMS systems near the transmitter site. Terrible intermodulation problems I guess.
Crappy receivers and sheer front end overload. I've heard of a few cases where certain models of cars could drive up to a transmitter site, but could never be started to leave, they had to be pushed a fair distance away before they'd start.

The Tire pressure thing was in the 2000s there was a huge spike in people crashing due to their tires being over or under inflated. Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors or TPMS’s weren’t standard on all cars. Only high end Luxury cars and aftermarket mods.
