S9+10 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR.

0225 UTC-Tone sweeps
0225 UTC-Robot YL “UNID Tones, code alpha 81 beta 43”
0226 UTC-Tone sweeps
0226 UTC-Robot YL “UNID Tones” and a new “code”
0226 UTC-Tone sweeps
0227 UTC-More tones, identifications, and “codes”
0240 UTC-OFF

Any idea what the codes are? They are all Alpha and Beta with a different number for each every time.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

0229 UTC: Was able to hear a voice but not sure what was said. Tones back and sound stronger than the talk.
0230 UTC: The talk was back and sounded like a repeat of the previous announcement.
Northeast Ohio
Now using Shazam for song identification

"Send your dough to FANCO" is what it seems to be communicating.
