Carrier and occasional weak modulation (music) noticed. Female vocalist. Maybe Cher?

Signal stronger on east coast; non-existent on west coast. No trace in South America. W1NT SDR with Beverage antenna pointed at Europe has a S5-ish carrier but the peskies on 6960 LSB are killing it.

Recording when the peskies shut up: https://vocaroo.com/162KAEtflW4X

0207 - The Carpenters, "Close to You"

Definately coming from Europe. Signal is stronger in Iceland and Weston-Super-Mare, England. We should move this to European.
Thanks for the move and the ID. I should have checked the Euro forum once I figured out it was coming from Europe.

0222 - Laura Branigan, "Self Control"
0225 - Lionel Ritchie, "Hello"
0229 - Lionel Ritchie, "On My Way"
0238 - Dead carrier. I'm off for other things. Good night.

I don't STRETCH the truth.
