Yes, hard rock oldies, punctuated with several IDs.  Sounds like "Radio Baltic Sea" but can't be BSR?  Heavy UTE on same frequency.

Still does not sound like "Baltic" sounds like "Radio Of the Sea" or something like that...

    I wonder if it's the same radio as last year"Baltic Sea Radio".
A year ago they used seagulls voice as the calling jingle.It was a certain identification even in noises.
Additional they used new call sign " three different CW tones".
Before ending transsmision  they always playng songs by YL IT "Prima Balerina" and "Una Paloma Blanca"
I liked it very much and I remember, because it resembled the ID of the 70's iconic Radio Northsea.
   Did this station use any of these characteristic recordings?

Nothing of those old audio bits. The first row of IDs was mixed with sounds of sea waves. Maybe the op read my report, because on the second row, there was no audio background.

Umm, Baltic Sea Radio used to start and ID with sea waves and seagull sounds. However, that station always used SSB and had very narrow audio where most of bass was filtered.

Thanks for the information from the RBS collection. I think that they intentionally modified the name of the station, because they knew Baltic Sea Radio. It is not their return.
    Yes, BSR used SSB technique, which compared to AM gives higher band power, narrower signal spectrum and therefore less noise, the receiver has higher decoder sensitivity, there are less distortion of propagation and intermodulation. In summary, SSB provides a greater range than AM.
Disadvantages are the need for a receiver adapted to the SSB (less listeners) and limited audio bandwidth (there are few BC stations).
 I apologize for the lecture, it may be useful to someone.
