Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of Greece 11645 AM 2104 UTC June 4, 2016

« on: June 04, 2016, 2126 UTC »

Tuning around 25 meters and came across a solid signal on 11645 AM playing a mixture of Greek artists mixed with some other more familiar tunes. Don't see anything listed for this frequency other than Korea....perhaps the Voice of Greece on a new frequency? Seems to be non-stop folk tunes/ez listening pop
"I Istoria Tou Erota Ke Tis Mousikis"-Eleni Tsaligopoulou
"I Kardia Mou Einai Sta Psilomata"-Orfeas Peridis
"Lady D'Arbanville"-Cat Stevens
"Gia Ta Matia Sou Mono"-Theologos Kappos
"Mrs. Robinson"-Simon & Garfunkel
"Agiristo Kefali"-Miltos Pashalidis
"Ruperta"-Peru Negro
"Shizofrenia"-Arleta
2132 UTC I also heard the same as flexoman....short bit of music and OM spoke a few words
Just checked for other frequencies and this is parallel to 9420 KHZ...9935 KHZ is missing, so maybe a frequency change?
2137 UTC "Oulaloum"-Nikolas Asimos

Thanks for the confirmation JCMaxwell! 11645 is S6 with fading and //9420 is S9+
I agree flexoman! The music is soothing to the ears
