How did you obtain the ID? Is the cow mooing the ID?

1739 - Rammstein song. SINPO 22333 on an SDR in Norway. I have their carrier frequency as 6289.8 KHz. Waiting for ID. There is CW on 6284 KHz.
1748 - There is another carrier on 6289.9.
1751 - The orginal carrier on 6289.8 is off the air. The carrier on 6289.9 now has modulation. I guess that this was a "handoff". Rock music.
1800+ - Somebody cycling through snippets of songs on their music playlist, playing 30 seconds of each song then going onto the next one. Boring.
1817 - Cow mooing between songs.
1827 - Cow mooing again.
1835 - Cow
1839 - Announcer in Dutch-accented English: ID and close-down announcement. "Starting to get dark."
1846 - TX off the air.

Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of America (spur?) 6210 AM 2145 UTC 02 April 2020
« on: April 02, 2020, 2215 UTC »
Noted on several Scandinavian SDRs. I believed at the time that it was not just an image within the receiver. Programming was English-language pop music with announcements by English-speaking female. A little tough to pick out what was being said above the noise until I heard the VOA signoff announcement and Yankee Doodle Dandy clearly just before TX off the air at 2200 UTC.
I checked a couple databases and the only place that VOA was supposed to be in English just before 2200 UTC was on 15580 and (notably) 6195 KHz. So it may have been a frequency selection error at the TX site, a spur from the TX or maybe it was actually a spur within the KiwiSDR. I guess the question is whether I can hear it again in successive days and whether I hear it on 6195 or 6210 or both.

I only hear Irish fishermen venting on 3938 USB. Every other word is "fucking", or, should I say, "fookin' "

1835 - Spirit In The Sky
1839 - Paul McCartney and Wings, Jet.
1843 - Occasional QRM from 6317 USB. Someone giving numbers in English separated by "hyphen". Then heard "out".
1850 - ID "Good evening. This is Radio 102 with a low-power test, only 5 Watts."

0714 - Completely overridden by splatter from LHH on 6205. I have to listen on USB.

Presumed to be Radio Harmony
0837 - Old-Time Rock and Roll. However, this isn't Harmony's usual type of song.
0838 - Ahhh...the world is back to normal. They are playing some sort of show tune.
