Strong splatter from DW program relayed via RN Bonaire on 9735 KHz now heard
4 days consecutively. I hear it at and around 9845kHz and 9625 kHz, i.e.,
+/-110kHz. Pretty sure it's not caused by receivers (DX-394) because:

a) Cannot imagine what mechanism would cause symetrical intermod product
like this
b) Splatter is attenuated proportional to signal by inserting the 20dB pad
so does not behave as an overload would
c) Splatter is unintelligible, has no carrier and does not appear to have
spectral distribution conforming to a sideband so does not look like an
internal intermod product or leakage through IF filters
d) I don't observe this problem with other strong stations in the same band

To be sure, I need confirmation that someone else hears it. The transmission
schedule is 0200-0600UT to North America and you probably need to receive
9735 at needle pinning signal strength to hear the splatter. It helps to
have two radios, one tuned to either splatter frequency, the other to 9735
so you can hear the synchronisation between the splatter and the program.
DXing transmitter faults - now there's a new wrinkle to SWL!
