WMA recording available.
comms with 2 YL in very fast Spanish or Asian language. strange
1959z one YL in Spanish(?) probably not Spanish.
2010 possibly back to 2 YL, I hope someone picks this up also.
        Language may be Italian. web research turned up zilch.
2019 OFF

I quite often come across stations in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia talking on SSB right across 8MHz, some are inter-island radio (Philippines & Indonesia) and some are commercial (Japan).  Many of these stations are illegal as they are quite often adjacent to maritime and aviation frequencies.

Have made note of 8.776MHz USB and will check it out from time to time and see what I can hear from Australia....

I have tuned 8.776MHz USB for past few mornings my time, at 1845z a female begins announcing then replaced by a male at 1900z with the transmission terminating at 1915 or 1920z.  This morning it was very strong, up to 5X8 and I am nearly sure the language is Greek.

More than likely "SVA Olympia Radio" Athens, Greece maritime radio with weather reports.  I found reference to such on Google.
