Actually, those numbers were in Vietnamese.  That was a clip of the Vietnamese numbers station V30.

Really interesting, and eclectic, mix of content on 6955 kHz USB.  I tuned in late, but still interesting.

Thanks for the show Final Count Down!  S7 or a bit more into the Mojave Desert of California.

(edit) Off at 0358 UTC, faded out with the full song The Final Count Down and then several renditions of the 8 bit sounding bars of the same song.

T!

Good signal with ID at 03:01 as, "The Final Countdown".   Into Victoria, BC.   Thanks!   In competition with almost equally strong Radio Gaga on 6925 with some wild SSTV images (as I type this at 03:04 UTC).
