6507 kHz USB

Voice marker
Buenadía Radio (Ondadía? Holadía? something?)
Alternating English and Spanish(?)
Giving times or frequencies 806, 1252, 1629, 1640, 2210, 2217, spoken

Back on briefly at 0310

Here's a wma audio file of the English part:

The 2001 Ferrell's CFL gives several coast stations on this frequency,
but none look like this.

Wow! I've been listening to short-wave thirty-five years and there's
still new stuff!

"Buenadia" could mean "good day" in English. ("Buena" = "good"; "dia" =
"day".) Possibly a new religious station, or a pirate-there's lots of
pirates from Europe in the area.

You may have been hearing Olympia Radio from Greece. It's a Maritime Coastal
Station. They do English and Greek.

Currently I'm hearing an Australian Coastal Station at 1145.

There are still a lot of stations globally that use the frequency.

You're right. She says "This is Olympia Radio" "Call ??? 806, 1256, 1629,
1640, 2210 and 2217."

The consensus on rec.radio.shortwave and the utility_listening Yahoo
group is that this is Olympia Radio.

It still doesn't sound to me like she's saying "Olympia", but I guess
you guys are right.

Thanks for the responses.

It's the Greek accent.

That's Olympia Radio from Greece.. a radiotelephone relay service
oddly audible in these parts. She goes "hello from olympia radio call
us on..." then she gives ITU maritime channel numbers.

I have a QSL from two of these stations... the callsign for 6.507 is
SVO32.
