6885 AM Unidentified 00:12 Tuesday 10-29
« on: October 29, 2013, 1432 UTC »
Morning All; was wondering if anyone could ID this broadcast station logged last night?  6885 AM 00.12 hours 10-29 (Tuesday).  Station ID about 1 minute into clip, female op, language unknown.  Thinking this may be   Israel Armed Forces Radio. Thanks Rick

To weak here to copy this morning - just a bit of music every now and then.
But I have Logged Israel here several times in the past. - Not to shabby for 5 kw

Yes, this is almost certainly Israel. A regular here.

I could never ID language, however some folks over on the RR Board disagree on the signal ID as possible IDF Radio.  Here is one response:

I've heard that interval signal before, the flute that plays at 1 minute in. Lemme see if I can nail it down. Interval Signals Online

It's similar to this one, kind of an old world flute tune. http://www.intervalsignals.net/files...ian_140105.m3u

Edit: GOT IT! It's Greece: http://www.intervalsignals.net/files...msw_110306.m3u

Go to Greece on the Intervals web page and play: "ERA Radio Station Macedonia - Shortwave Service,Sign-on: IS/"Ode to Freedom" NA/ID (Greek), External"

Compare that tune to the one on the recording starting at 0:58

The interval signal played by the 'unknown' station matches that of the Greece shortwave network. THat's the programming that the unknown is transmitting. Where is the transmitter? We may never know for sure. Find someone who knows the Greek language and you may get your answer. :^)

Nice catch and nice recording! I just downloaded the latest NASWA spread sheet and Greece is not listed for that frequency nor can I find them on that freq. via Google.
