Conveniently, WEWN is missing, as it puts out its own spurs close to 11870. That`s 94.5 kHz above 11780, so look for it 94.5 kHz below: yes, there is a match around 11685.5, at S5. These wanderers have also been echoing on doubles, so next look for those, should be at plus/minus 189 kHz = 11969 & 11591 ? maybe on the higher one, but really band noise level is too much to be sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) BRAZIL. 11815, August 2 at S2, weak music from presumed R Brasil Central, but the off-frequency privates circa 11935, 11925 and 11855 are all unheard.

Not as strong as last night, and at 0142 I look for 2 x 93 second-order blobs around 11594 and 11966 but don`t hear those.
