Ion Radio 6925 AM 0002 UTC 12 May 2017

Highly variable signal strength, between SIO 111 and 555. Not sure what this is.
0008 CW and YL ID, it could have been Ion Radio.
0026 ID.  This is some weird modulation, I can't see a carrier.

Lots of QSB from in the noise to fairly strong. CW ID at 0023. More CW at 0030 but too much noise to copy. I got an N and O.

0038 - was able to make out the morse code, I think.  'IONRADIOSHORTWAVE@GMAIL.COM'
Lots of chirp on the CW signal, and very noisy carrier otherwise.

Decode wouldn't start using AM so I switched to USB. Rough picture with the weak signal and noise.

Now using Shazam for song identification
