Excellent signal weighing in at S8 during spooky low rumbles. Then, S9+10 during piece with minimal musical instruments. The scary effect is very well done. Thanks for the nightmares later on tonight :-[

S5 0145 Strange language.  I could swear it said Hari Krishna at one point , music
0148 English, sounds like rebroadcast of Radio India, mentioned tweet, but I didn't get the hashtag
0152 English once again, sounded like they were talking about aircraft like an ATC, but it's pretty badly accented .
0156 Off?

Listening via the Northern Kentucky SDR ...

0203 UTC: Through the noise, I can hear a British-accented female voice talking over music. Sounds like it's from a documentary or movie.

Tough broadcast tonight. The signal was strong but so was the noise. Listening to the recording I was able to pick out some program details, times are approximate.
0137: Recording starts and was hearing spooky like music with what sounded to me like gongs.
0144: A man was talking in an unknown language, I first thought it was Frenchlike but others are saying Hindu.
0149: A female voice which was followed by a male voice. Both were hard for me to understand. I was able to make out the start datse of a program to be broadcast and streamed on-line.
        12/19/2015 to 06/30/2017 I could not make out what the program was.
0151: A man came on breaking into the music with  "big breaking news", the news was about an Air India plane scam.
0152: seemed off.
0154: Music.
0156: Off.

Interesting program hopefully to be repeated when the band is in better shape.

2250 UTC May 17 2021 with ethereal music,2300- fairly deep-voiced OM in Portuguese for about 30 secs, then piercing bird SFX and same OM, into eerie music. At 2326, cute-sounding bouncy song with OM/YL vocal in English, ending with "I love the music, the music all day long." Maybe an old generic radio jingle. Into slow song with YL vocal. 2330-OM in Portuguese with flute. Too low to get any of it. Into slow song.2335-song with English OM vocal. 2340-into more eerie, SFX. Old 50s/60s style-sounding American young YL/OM talking about smoking, repeated FX with laughs & some of the words. Ended at 2343 with talk of "The machine..." in same repeated audio clip.  (Sorry to get this up so late. I left a recorder running so I could have dinner and enjoy some TV.)  Signals in central NY state were mostly poor to fair, but I was able to clean it up a bit with iZotope RX3.
