I have a strange off frequency signal on 107.915 here in London, I think it's something local but the signal is a little too constant to be an iPod Tx.
It's a loop recording of someone reading the news, there are two voices one English and the other American - for some reason they are using the BBC TV News theme. Here is a recording... the interfering station at the start (until I narrowed the filter on the lower side of the signal) is Radio Jackie on 107.8... https://we.tl/t-NhQ3I1n7QU
This transmission has be running all afternoon - I also have a blank carrier on 108.0.
The AirSpy HF+ SDR appears to have a bomb proof front end, so I have never had any images on the HF+ even from local end stop pirates, so these are not images.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what this may be?

"This was a good experience for our office. Would recommend this to any team looking for something out of the ordinary to do. Wide selection of puzzles and red herrings. It was great that we could do this sort of activity in our own office. It cut our costs in having to rent somewhere else.

"This is an interesting twist on the escape room for two reasons - the game is not a straight-forward one, utterly mind-bending! Luckily it's based in a grand pub, which meant we were allowed to have a drink as well! Beautiful location, high quality )if dizzying!) game!

so we have new source of lp fm broadcast on the band!

I realised that it wasn't a real newscast as no one talks like that when doing the news.
I thought it may be some kind of radio production training coming from a local office block that I know that produces advertising, so I took my little scanner with me when I went out, but there was no sign of any signal coming from the building.
Both signals have now disappeared - oh well it's just a bit more crap to contend with at the top of the band, it just adds to the 4 pirates now at the bottom of the band on 87.5, 87.6, 87.8 and 88.0.
