Noticed this last night and tonight. Is it my radio or are others hearing
the same thing? German language transmission booming into Toronto at 9735
from 0200 with distorted splatter around 9845 and 9625kHz.

So it is Deutsche Welle transmitting from Bonaire. The splatter is
unintelligible but synchronised with modulation peaks, especially strong
with deep male voices. There is no carrier that I can detect at the splatter
frequencies and SSB reception mode does not derive anything intelligible.
The splatter spectrum seems fairly wide although the presence of adjacent
stations renders these observations difficult. I can't think of any receiver
overload or intermod process that would result in symmetrical splatter but I
am using two identical radios to listen to the 9735 program and one of the
splatter sidebands so there could be a common receiver problem. There is
less interference to the splatter on 9845.
