BBC World Service with news in English.  SINPO 45534 / S9. Wide signal with a bandwidth ~14 kHz.  Some rapid flutter.

According to online sources:  BBC is not on this frequency at this time (0215 UTC) and are on only two frequencies in English now (12095 & 15310), neither of which have anything detectable here.

0236Z 45534 S8 Program about music. Signal dropping slightly.
0255Z 35533 S7 Program about music continues, and signal continues to drop.
0300Z Off air

I was pretty sure that the freq was 9915, not 9920. I could be wrong. I usually catch BBCWS on 9915,11810, and 12095 with a decent, but fadey signal.
