0154 - Only a carrier here, with occasional unintelligible speech
          No jamming.
0159 - Time pips marking the hour.

Have logged this before.

SHORT-WAVE.info and AOKI lists this as Chinese language with 0.1 kilowatts,
although that is very, very suspect, if not downright impossible.

Like someone famous once said "Believe in Propagation, not what the listing says"

For the most attentive logging I've seen,
(even if you couldn't identify quite a few things),
an eQSL is attached.

Yes, the French singer was Edith Piaf--
same song used in 'Saving Private Ryan'.
