At 0428 I go to TWR Bonaire SDR instead, where it`s 18.7 dB, few dropouts, music but frequent ID breaks, ``Nacional FM``; 0438 more completely ``Nacional FM 96.1 Bras?lia`` --- it seems WRTH 2020 includes NO FM info about Brazil, tho it does at least partially for other countries. Of course, AM and a bit of SW already occupy 21+ crammed pages. At 0452 this SDR times out for me so I switch to TWR Dominican Republic, which is generally inferior, but it`s still getting the DRM well at S9, 17.2 dB. Still at 0554 S8-S9, and past 0640. At 0658 I can hear the DRM noise myself at S3-S5.

The Saturday one is registered as from Issoudun, FRANCE. I thought this behaviour unusual even for ISS, so could be from somewhere else, like UAE? But now it`s clear the two are at least from some same site. At 1546 I try it via UTwente SDR: poor S6-S7 signal as would be apt, too close for skip distance, but in AM Synch mode it keeps trying to lock onto the wobbling frequency, briefly displaying offsets + such as: .033, .051, .030, .048, .027, .045 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also GERMANY [non] ** FRANCE.
