9.645    2400 -2430 GMT. S9 signal here in New England. Armchair copy.  In the Kachin language according to the website. This is very unusual and may have something to do with the intense heat we are experiencing.  Propagation conditions have been forecasted to be very good. You can hear them online during this period  as well in this unusual language

Not an anomaly. Present and strong for the last 4 nights straight.  Opening with an "interval signal" followed by a very interesting bit of Asian music. Radio Veritas Asia clearly heard in the opening announcement. There appears to be some sort of "pulse" signal in the background. Wonder if is some sort of jamming on the Burmese end?

There has been some discussion of this in response to video posted on the FB groups...apparently
this is NOT a Philippine based transmitter but relayed via somewhere else (?).  Nice to be able to
record these transmissions though, for historical value now that station has gone off its own transmitters...

That makes more sense to me. Signal is just too strong from that region of the world for this time of day/season here in New England. Not even the best signals from Radio Thailand on 19 meters approach this level. Could be Vatican Radio from one of their sites (they do use Madagascar)I'll check out the FB post. Thanks Dan
