Title: Zeppelin Radio 6940 AM 0245 UTC 17 MAR 2024

Orchestral and nightclub-type 40s music (Golden Earrings by Peggy Lee), I thought the announcement was in peninsular Spanish but too muddled (could be Greek), seems Europe since strongest (though still not that strong) on Spain SDR, then UK, barely trace on easternmost US SDR in MA.  Tried a bunch and Arvika, Sweden was the best, not that great though. Rachmaninoff 0310, No Love But Your Love (Johnny Mathis). 0322: No talking for the last half hour and it's late so I'm giving up :)


edit by Ray : time in the subject was 2245, rectified to 0245 UTC, and ID to Zeppelin Radio

   Hello n2avh - you've probably heard Zeppelin Radio from Greece.
I was still receiving them after midnight around 0115 UTC at 6939.87 S9+15 but I didn't open the thread when I went to sleep.
This type of music is typical for this station, it also adds blocks of Greek songs.
The Opearor rarely gives the ID in English and Greek in a rather low, calm voice.
The ending FRQ xxxx,87 is always characteristic.
Via ocean pickup reports do happen, so congratulations on keeping an eye out!
