Radio Marabu 6254.1 AM 2250 UTC APRIL 3, 2015
« on: April 03, 2015, 2253 UTC »
Man announcer at 2250 UTC in possibly German, into music at 2252 UTC. Is this Radio Marabu? S3 with fading
2258 UTC Signal has faded to at or just above threshold in the last few minutes
2300 UTC Man announcer...pretty certain I heard a "Marabu" in there :)

I've got them here in NY too.  About an S6-S7 with lots of static crashes unfortunately.  I don't recognize any of the songs yet, but I heard one that sounded like Meatloaf around 2308 UTC, followed by one that sounded like Foreigner or Journey.  Not my genre of music unfortunately.

"Non Stop Marabu" will traditionally be on air all Easter. Absolutely non-hit-radio. It is known as album/indie station. No wonder if you don't know the songs.  :)

(Though now it is playing Jennifer Rush...)
