SDR recording catch, it was there at 0112 when I reconnected the antennas after storms, was probably there earlier.

OM talking about music, composition, composers.

Off at 0116. Not a bad signal, SIO 433 to 444.

SDR recording catch. It actually began at 0111 so you didn't miss much, Chris.  ;D

Here, it was a poor copy. You could tell OM was speaking but not make out what was being said. It was either under modulated or just not a strong enough signal here, a little bit above the noise. Thanks for the broadcast!
