UNID 5200 AM ~0500 UTC 19 June 2020

Fading but clear signal on 5200Khz -- S5 to S9 on the Westminster, MD Kiwi SDR

Started with "news" / commentators speculating about how the number 33 was used as a code signal in news broadcasts about the COVID 19 pandemic -- played clips of news with 33 -- "....number of deaths in Arkansas up to 33...", "we've now reached 33 cases in PA", etc.

Then played smooth jazzy instrumental songs for the next hour or so, with several seconds of silence between songs.

Never heard an ID and can't seem to find this in any of the SW broadcast schedules online.

Any ideas?

~0625 -- music stopped and started "news" story -- "who is Bill Gates?"

After doing some searching of the HFU archives online here, could this be the return of The Relay Station from 2017?
