Unid or Focus ? 5840 AM 1753 utc 03 Nov 2019
« on: November 03, 2019, 1802 UTC »
on 5840.01
1753 M+W talking about Laser 558 (M with US accent), no music, 1802,
1805 still chatting (parts of "Born in the USA" and other hits in the background)
1807 ID by W : Laser 558, then 80's sounds
1816 same clear ID, but otherwise, sounds weaker and weaker
C'est "Maximum de blabla, minimum de musique" ce programme !
1821 very weak, 1827

1918 talking, music,
1928 ID : Focus, Europe wide radio,  1930 lost
So was it really Focus broadcasting such a long recording of Laser 558 ?
1938 fading in again, on 5840.03 approx. (hard to give an exact frequency).
