Thanks, right on frequency, which is not often seen in pirate broadcasting.

T/in here at 2054 UTC,
music from the 1920s-1930s, IDs,
also announcements 'Hier ist - - - - Berlin' (can't ctach the middle).

Please Wojtek, change the object.

Hi Ray !

Quote

also announcements 'Hier ist - - - - Berlin'

Those are old recordings of German shortwavestation IDs of that era.
An announce I heard several times is "Hier ist Berlin Koenigs-Wusterhausen und der Deutsche Kurzwellensender - wir senden Tanzmusik"

No more German shoutings, now a lot of 'Go ahead London'.

No idea from where is the station.

Maybe worth a try in NE America ?

I heard Charleston Radio Int. yesterday  also. :)
Love that kind of music from the early days of shortwave radio.

Made also a video for my little YT Channel from the reception with my Tecsun S-2000 and homemade magnetic loop antenna:

Again on-air today. Audible with fair signal at 1745 UTC in Austria.

Ray, I just heard the announcement you were refering to:

'Hier ist - - - - Berlin' (can't ctach the middle).

The complete announce is "Hier ist die Sendestelle Berlin"
