Very interesting Ray! Checking the European postings, I see there are 2 of them with the same playlist!
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52397.0.html
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52365.0.html
And also as early as Jan 19, 2019 on this posting....
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,50244.msg179691.html#msg179691

The broadcast did have some European propagational characteristics about it. So this belongs in the European forum I guess! It would be nice if they would ID!( And QSL!  :) )

Here is the Google Drive link to the recording of my reception....
