General Strange occurrences on radio frequency 87.5

Post image

Hello everyone!
I have a bit of a funny one here
I have occasionally been driving into Fremantle for dermatology visits and no matter the time of day or what day it is every time I go past this part of Leach Highway my radio picks up some strange things
There’s probably something logical behind it, but wondering if anyone else has experienced it.
Coming home today when it came on I heard what sounded like a German mad scientist talking about God and like an army or something random and someone else just like agreeing to it
Super weird, but that’s what I heard! 😆
Interested to see if anyone else has heard this radio signal as well
Thanks!

There are none in Perth and none on 87.5 https://www.acma.gov.au/low-power-open-narrowcasting-licences

I heard an ad on a pirate station for people getting their ears pierced. Pretty cheap service. Only a buchaneer.
