I'm getting music fading in and out rather quickly here at 2221 UTC. Man announcer I think at 2222 UTC, then music again. Fading in and out of the noise floor but peaking at S2/S3

Thanks for the ID Chris S! The signal is rising in and out of the noise too fast to get a good ID, although I can hear the announcer each time. Mostly UNID European pop tunes, but nice to hear any Euro at all these days
