I wonder if it's a guy transmitting to his Zenith console in the hallway? Also, you should be able to shoot an azimuth to it with any ambc portable with a ferret bar antenna.

Presumed pirate WXLV faded in again, playing country music, around 1900z.

I've been hearing country music since tune in around 1500z, just played Johnny Cash a few minutes ago, SIO 433 signal, I presume this is the pirate again, waiting for an ID.
Yes, an ID at 1526.
