« on: January 07, 2023, 0352 UTC »

0350 UTC Carrier and some threshold music heard. Not sure if North American or European. Not enough signal to ID a song.
0409 UTC Possibly a big band song?
0416 UTC Sounds like a vocal tune now (Big band tune with OM vocals at 0417 UTC)
0430 UTC Not detecting a carrier now
(My guess would be B-Side Radio)
Signal was just too weak here....thank you whoever!

This was in progress when I tuned in at 0214 UTC. I used the Black Cat WEFAX app using 120 LPM. The op mentioned it was transmitted using 60 LPM. I'm not sure if that is why I decoded a cropped image? Here's what it looked like:
