UNKNOWN 1660 AM 29 July 2019 (Solved)
« on: July 29, 2019, 1800 UTC »
Hi to all,
MW listening conditions these days are been very good indeed. I get better signals on some frequencies that in mid-winter, including the MW X Band, full of TA signals.

This morning I was listening to 1660 Faro de Santidad (Puerto Rico) when close to dawn a station overrode it. I listened to it carefully but I could not understand the spoken language. The station remains unknown for me so maybe you could help me with your opinion.

I do not know that language and could be Icelandic or even Korean. I say Korean because of that kind of 'laughing' expressions to enhance the sentences that can be heard in the recording, but I am not sure of it.

After the sunrise (past 05:00 UTC) the signal was fading until it disappeared at about 05:30 UTC.

I attach a .mp3 format audio link for you to check:

Thank you very much in advance.

Jorge

Solved!
It is WWRU K-RADIO 1660 from Jersey City (USA) with programs in Korean language.

¡Buen DX!
