Shortwave Radio - Interval Signals - Quiz #2

Shortwave broadcasting stations start their transmissions with a tune that they repeat over and over to give you time to tune them in. Although this is a major broadcaster in the world, it's interval signal may not be easy to recognize depending upon where you live. Try to guess the identity of this station. I'll confirm the correct answer in the 'comments' section of this video. Good Luck !

I listen to this every morning before going to work on a roberts shortwave portable, just before 6am UK time(7am CET) you hear this callsign a few times then Vatican Radio starts with a lovely Italian religeous singing sequence then at 7am there are 3 15min news bulletins one in italian one in french and one in english before Vatican Radio mentions it's availability on FM in Milan later on signs off and shuts down the transmitters at 7.45 UK time(8.45 CET).
