1044 uniID ed station

Following the  special case of  Cannibal I now present you another  for the time being free radio station but still not identified (or possibly indirectly identified )

After the  closure  of nearly the half  radio  stations from ERA , including the   three  transmitters from  Thessaloniki our city   is now  free  from local radio stations .
With the  closure of the German  station this year  , the frequency  was  clear since May 13
Shortly later  on May 13thn a  new station  has been started  fist  by  relaying a local FM  radio station well known  of  playing  traditional  songs on afternoons and nights  every day.

 But later  as per my monitoring , this station (??i have some doubts  for it )  reappeared  with its own programming (read play list with mp3 collection )   with  old Greek songs   , but more especially pops (not folk as  most others )from the 60-80 era  that   later (after 9 pm ) ‘hardens ‘  a little still into ‘light folks’  and goes  vice versa . . All these  songs  were  highly  popular those old times. That makes me suppose the operator’s age  is around  50 That is after listening sometimes this station for more than 3 hours (for looking for ID )

And little later  this station  appeared  with mostly western pops of 70a and 80s , but their transmissions are highly irregular . More recently  the station airs old songs of 60-80s with emphasis on Italian and French songs.

 Although  with some  little direction finding (by turning the  radio ) shows  to be in line with Athens (ie Cannibal  ) their propagation pattern is  different  with more frequent fade outs and higher signals than  Cannibal . As for example   my parallel  testing  with them on 7-9  shown signals  as low as 23/05/6  to as high as 35/18/10   ( db S -  S/N – S on 16H antenna on R75 )  That makes me believe that the station  transmits  possibly from further than Athens with higher power

I am also wondering if this station  did a  frequency change  from 1035 to  1044 as the station has nearly same  signal.  If this is the case the station then is called Daffy . Thanks to the radio pirate mates  who helped me for this information
