That's probably WBCQ and they're a licensed station.

Hi.  Consider changing the Subject to "UNID 4790 AM 0208 UTC 13 February 2022", per the format guidelines.  (if mode is not AM, replace with LSB/USB).  Doing so helps our moderators collate this information at the end of the year and present a nice report.

Feel free to join us on Discord, at the "HF Underground" server. Look forward to seeing you there.   

It's likely WBCQ.  Here's a helpful link for identifying shortwave stations:  https://www.short-wave.info/index.php

This is definitely WBCQ's testing of 4790.   https://swling.com/blog/2022/02/wbcq-4790-hkz-testing-update/
