UNIDENTIFIED 6137.5 Shortly after I rolled off of 6140-PAK around 1400
UT, there appeared a strange set of carriers between PBS Xizang and R.
Pakistan. At first I thought it was some sort of multichannel ute, but it
sounded like 1 kHz test tones, but I couldn't zero-beat it. Turns out it's
a spur! AND (!) it needs FM wide (6 kHz) to be received at any
intelligibility. Not true FM, but more like angle (phase) modulation.
Sounds like Hindi, but the one song was almost south-seas like. The music
had wow and flutter to it like it was off one of the older Studer 10 inch
reel machines. Male and female announcers in light-hearted banter. No time
pips on the hour and the last song before the hour sounded like Curly
Howard [a Stooge] trying to sing opera.

U.K./PORTUGAL DWL distortion from ?which location?
Tonight the DWL German outlet on 6075 kHz noted with S=9+40dB of power and
accompanied by two distortion spikes around 6016-6034 peak=6032 kHz, and
symmetrical at 6119-6135 peak=6214 kHz.
But I cannot say which tx cause the distortion at 1900-2000 UT slot:
due of parallel network 6075 at
1800-1959 Woofferton 300kW at 105deg and
1700-1957 Sines-POR 250kW at 40degr too.
Note as always with three different rx, on three different antennas a.s.o.
