21:01 utc  5497.4 kHz wobbling crazily up to 5498.2 kHz with poor modulation and female voice. modulation dropped at 21:09 utc and carrier at 21:10 utc.
The 5 Mhz carrier always has a low frequency hum about 110 Hz similar to some Voice of Korea broadcasts. If you zoom in on the carrier there appears to be several of them about 110 Hz apart.

also found:
in progress at 21:02 utc  3036.4 kHz also crazy wobbly carrier going up and down causing Synch detector to lose lock and whistle. Off at 21:06 utc.

23-Sept.

21:01 utc  5495~5499 kHz off at 21:15 utc Carrier snaked up from 5495.4 kHz to 5499.3 kHz before it stopped at 21:15 utc.

I couldn't tell if the 3044 voice was male or female it was so weak. the 5498 frequency was even weaker than that. I can't even say for sure that there was any modulation on 5498.
