As I was listening, I recognized the IS but couldn't recall what station. It was still too distorted and too weak to copy the voice ID at the time. Doing a search of the freq, I saw that V.O. Turkey, R. Netherlands, R. Cairo, DW, and V.O. Russia have all been using this freq recently. I then tried to match up the IS w/those stns on the http://www.intervalsignals.net/ website but didn't have any luck. While scrolling through the list of countries, just by pure chance I stopped at the Philippines and clicked on FEBC. Amazingly that was the IS and it matched up perfectly!!!! Listened to my recording again and could then copy the "FEBC Radio." ID between IS repetitions. Of all the countries/stations IS's on the "intervalsignals" website, its incredible I found the right one so quickly out of the blue!!! (16 April) GUAM 11860 KSDA *1330 signal on at 1329, W w/EG ID and QTH, M w/ID, then into rel. Pop-like mx. Poor w/slop QRM from 11865.
