OM (The Count?) with test counts 6887 AM 0236 UTC 10 Aug 2019

SDR recording catch. Not sure what this was. OM with some test counts. He was using very distorted AM, I tuned in LSB for a slightly better (or at least less worse) signal.

Lost ham? Pirate testing? Low budget spy numbers station?

I originally posted this in Other, but after listening to it, I decided it might fit better here, as it sounds like someone trying to emulate The Count from Sesame Street.
