I would suspect 110A or similar. I am not big into digital modes, so YMMV.

2319z - Music. SIO 322. ~S5 peaks via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. Considerable static crashing plus an UTE overlapping the transmission, so it a rather rough copy for me at the moment.
2334z - Sounding better here. ~S6 with SIO trending 333.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
