9420 KHZ @ 0402 UTC 13 July 19 in Greek. STRANGE but very entertaining mix of music. Big band type song with female vocals followed by a type of Latino Rap genre with male vocals. Then back to the more traditional Grecian music genre. Just bizarre. Strong, steady signal.
SINPO: 3+ 4 4 4 4
TX: Avlis, Greece
TARGET: N. America

I heard them last night on 9420 kHz, out in the glorious RF-pollution-free boonies, and enjoyed some of the most fantastically beautiful music I've ever heard. Signal was incredible, 555, I thought it must be a relay from the usual US suspects... Anyhow the music was varied, from haunting vocals to hammer dulcimer to strange stringed instruments. I couldn't place it, I kept thinking "Balkans"... which it is, sort of.
Introductions via shortwave to music you never imagined possible is an underrated joy of the hobby.

The signal out of Alvis is one of the now all-to-infrequent surprises to today's SWL DX'er. I have, on numerous occasions, picked up Radio Helliniki on the 79 year old Mantola tube with nothing more than 3 feet of speaker wire as an antenna cuz I never got around to long-wiring the old tuber.
Go figure.
