Hey

Last night I was tuning through the 6200-6955 area and I came across a
strange statio on 6507z around 0143z and lasting for several hours.
Basically what I heard at first was a Spanish woman saying something
like "this is radio..... (i couldn't make out what she was saying)
Then she said some other things and read off some numbers in English
806, 1220, 1252, 1622,1629, 1640, 2210, 2217, and 2231. She said "and"
after 2217. Then she ID "this is radio" and then a brief rough static
sound. This was repeated for atleast an hour.

Sounds like a voice mirror. The numbers given are maritime channel numbers.
It's used as a marker for whatever station that was. The CFL says that
Athens Radio uses quite a few of the above mentioned channels, so I'm
willing to bet that's who it was.

Yes, Athens Radio used those frequencies. However, Athens Radio is no more. I'm
willing to bet that if those who are trying to figure out which station this is
will give it a close listen they will be able to ID it. And it's not 'Olivia
Radio'!

Shows you how outdated my reference book is... I need to get the 13th
edition.

Tried listening for the station on 6507, only heard a guy giving WX in
English.

Hey thanks for the info, I didn't know it was in greek.. but the
accent really didn't sound like Spanish as I originally thought. I
hear it every night now.
