1951 UTC with rock and UK announcer -- obviously a relay....
Signal quite good in DC via na5b SDR.

very good sound quality and signal on Chris' Smolinski Kiwi.
audio bandwidth measured at 11Khz, audio pre-emphasis appears to be engaged, very sharp brick-wall filter as observed on the "waterfall" at 5.5Khz audio.
frequency zero-beated at 4064.99Khz.
sounds like a commercial broadcast on shortwave.
edit - now at 10Khz bandwidth (5Khz audio)  8)
