At first I assumed this was just another UNID North American pirate popping up in the middle of the night, however a FlairMax hit at 0359 UTC identified a song titled "Paranomi Mou Agapi" by Greek artist Rita Sakellariou.  Greek music heard on my NNE DKAZ loop which favors Trans-Atlantic reception is also more evidence this is pointing to a Greek pirate.  Audio was very weak, just above my noise floor.  Signal was drifting slightly upward.  Carrier dropped at 0408 UTC.

Anyone else catch this one?
