One other good source for unguessable passwords would be children's 
nicknames, the more obscure the spelling, the better. In my family, we often played a 
game inventing strange words. Some of those words actually remained to this 
day. When we're just family, together, we laughingly refer to objects and 
each-other by those names. Some of them are real hum-dingers! (One is so long, it 
exceeds the space many password systems will accept.) My wife's family is also a 
great source of interesting "pseudo-words". ;)

Of course, in the case of stations, it could be nicknames for various 
co-workers, pieces of equipment, places, certain "groupie" listeners, etc. If it's 
funny, it may be more memorable, but still unguessable to outsiders.
