15.721 UNID

It sounds like four words on some kind of loop repeating over and over again. I can't make out a word of it or identify the language. Now it sounds like a numbers broadcast of some kind.

EDIT: Must have caught this numbers station just as it was signing on. repeated the same phrase for a few minutes before beginning actual numbers transmission. Off around 0415.

The station you heard was Russian language numbers station S06.  It has a schedule on that frequency starting at 0400 every Thursday and Friday morning (UTC).  The "words" at the beginning were numbers, in Russian, and it was probably only three numbers, although you may have heard 4 sounds.  I did not listen to it last night so I do not know what it said, but generaly it starts with a 3 figure ID.

A video here of the station http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V10b33u0ykE

If you tune in to that freq again tonight starting at 0400 UTC you should hear a repeat of the same transmission.
