2359 - Ethereal music. SINPO 33333 on an SDR in New England.
0001 - "The chair is against the wall." (a la coded information for a spy) by YL with UK accent several times with musical bits.
0003 - Recording of Ronald Reagan repeating a Soviet joke about whether they had actually achieved Communism.
0013 - The Beach Boys, "In My Room"
0014 - ION Radio ID by UK-accented YL.



I have it as a carrier with two sidebands, not just an upper sideband. Are we looking at the same thing?
Yes, sorry, it IS AM.

No worries, man.

SINPO=45444, in AM mode

2356- Ambient/ethereal sounding mellow instrumental music.
0001- YL synth voice with Red Dawn (movie) inspired coded message.
0003- Ronald Regan soundbite.
0003- Sounds like an AI generated instrumental synth version of a western show or movie theme.
0006- "Cascades" by Ryan Teague and Tom Edwards.
