Really strange, constant loop "You are tuned to technical difficulties...." etc
Signal holding up in noisy 48 meter band today

on 6285.4+
1819 music, and above that a loop of announcement by M+W, mangled
"You're tuned to (technical difficulties) ..." then W voice, then M again "...standby, the ... address is.."
Sometimes the W part is cut or not there.
The music is not on the same loop.
Idea : a recording from an offshore station in the 70s or 80s ?
1849 same loop, now better heard, but nothing meaningful
It's a longer loop than it seemed at first, with a lot of variants after 'difficulties'

1912 no more that loop, now : tango with singer, 1914 another tango
From search :  it's Radio Tango Italia,   1939 more tango
1955 moving to 6265.4

SINPO 43444 - Good signal, good modulation, the odd thunder clap

Well, I've experienced technical difficulties all my life, so what's new, haha

Tuning in to it via Twente. A number of consecutive opera songs. Hit with some utility & two-way QRM, but now seems to be skipping long. If RTI stays on for a few more hours, we might have a chance to hear it directly in NA
