Greek Pirate? 1730 AM 2156 UTC 15 Jan 2020

2156 I have a very weak signal on 1730.006 kHz with music.  Checking a KiwiSDR in Italy, there is what sounds like a Greek pirate just above 1730 kHz - so a good fit.
2212 Sure sounds like Greek music to me.

Try this one near Athens for the full experience. It's usually pretty busy. It might be difficult to get one of the four listening slots during the Greek evenings. A lot of the operators use it to monitor themselves in addition to the presence of just regular listeners.

Pretty impressive given the distance. I'd say the music played at around 3-4 minutes in is pretty typical and confirms it to be Greek for me.

Too bad about the pulsing pumping your AGC.
