I heard something on 5800 signing off at 2204. English and what I thought was Dutch (but it could have been German I suppose)

Fair to good reception in the outskirts of Paris.

On and off right at the noise floor … no complete song or coherent speech. Snips of what sounded like movie clips and ‘rude noises’.

Any idea what this is?

I'm going to call this 'fake Radio Canada' because as there were no IDs (or any announcements that I heard) the closing 'instrumental' was a traditional version of "Oh Canada" (you know, Canada's National Anthem) and that 'ID tones' was the Radio Canada International Piano Interval Signal -- the first four notes of Oh Canada.

Am I really that much older than you all in that I remember these things?

So is that ‘Un - I - D Radio’ or
‘I - D Radio’ the female voices has been saying?

The Beatles tunes were fun but thus ‘techno’ stuff at 0500 is just ‘odd’ ….

Booming into south central lower Michigan SINPO=454+4+4.
