Anyone listening right now? Strange. Male speaking Spanish. Sounds
like a broadcast, not a private conversation, and yet it's in usb.
Anyone know what this is?

Nice catch! It is apparently a relay from Valencia, Spain for Spanish military
folks.

Per reports it is a relay of Onda Cero Radio, Madrid, and is due to 'football
fever' as Spain is in the running for some sort of Championship.

For more info on this, check out the DXLD Yahoo Group, or World of Radio dot
com.

Won't be on forever, so enjoy!

Huh? I heard the Spanish within a few minutes of the O.P. and then it reverted
to an English weather report for the Caribbean and then went silent.

Any clarifications are appreciated ;)

I didn't listen too long because I had to get some sleep.

Here's a link to what the DX Listening Digest says (thanks to DxAce
for pointing this out):

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to the bottom.

I don't know why they'd have thrown a little English in there or a
Caribbean weather forecast (Spanish naval exercise?), but my guess is
that it was this broadcast from Spain.

I believe the weather report you were hearing is actually on 4395 vs. the 4394.5
frequency that the relay mentioned above was on.

Is there a known broadcaster on 4395 in English (a quick Google search came up
with only clandestine sources not in English)?

Perhaps not a broadcaster, but rather a utility station with WX info? Please, put your
thinking cap on.

I was using a roughly 4 kHz
filter on USB and my receiver has 1Hz resolution, and a synthesized 1st L.O.
so a 500 kHz error would be huge ;)

I never mentioned anything about 500 kHz. The difference between 4394.5 and 4395 is
500 Hz.

The signal strength did not change
between the Spanish language and English language segments and I didn't
retune.

You probably didn't have to retune as you were using a 4 kHz filter!

No matter, it would be best if you'd actually read the info that you were given.

Sorry about that, I've been coding for days and shifting decimal points and suffered
a 'dysnumeric' fugue.

Actually was read, but see above.
