042- I think I heard something else for a minute or so, when a alt rock sounding tune with OM vocals rose up out of the noise, but in AM mode. Now gone.

SINPO=13111, with deep, long fades.

0013- Very faint music with piano/keyboard and OM vocals.

0021- OM speaking, as if from an old news reel or radio/film clip? Could be a modern news or other program, but voice has an old time announcer sound to it, way under the QRN and some UTE QRM.
0023- Music briefly accompanies OM speaking (like interstitial or bumper instrumentals), then just OM speaking again.
0027- Music briefly again, then OM speaking.
0030- Modern, fast instrumental pop music, then OM speaking again.
0033- Reggae music with OM vocals.
0039- New song, upbeat pop/rock.

A harmonic or spur?
