Hearing some weak audio mixing with the noise....OM talking? Possibly some music also....maybe this is a mixing product or spur?

Thanks Terry...this is probably a Radio Habana spur, but it's not strong enough for me to match it with a known Habana frequency broadcasting at this time

This posting should probably be moved elsewhere

Threshold music fading in and out of the noise here at 2258 UTC. Thought I might of heard a familiar voice at 2300 UTC.
Still a bit early here, so hoping for the signal to pick up as sunset approaches.
2308 UTC OFF? No carrier detected here now.
