My comment : 
Well odd things happen, but why on earth should a ham make the trouble of 
relaying on a regular basis the transmissions of AFN, and if so ouside 
 the ham bands. The signal is indeed steady and clear at night here too.
 I still think that the Navy is involved. Perhaps some ad-hoc solution to a problem, forgetting
 to tell headquarters.... 

4837.5 3 Mar 2130 Saudi Arabia, GS on this
unexpected frequency

4926.3 3 Mar 2230 Bolivia. Radio San Miguel only fair.

5035.2 3 Mar 2115 Vietnam, Hanoi. VoV, tentatively . Can think of anything but them with their
very peculiar, strange-sounding, monotonous, repetitive chanting. H'mong language ?
  
6170 3 Mar 1130 and  5990 from 1203 Finland. Scandinavian Weekend Radio,
audio samples from pirate stations, Beatles etc. Weak on 6170, fair to good on 5990.

5765U 3 Mar 1625 AFN, Guam with a rather boring discussion. Fair signal 

Another oddity, now from Flordia.
25870 3 Mar 1500  USA WFLA, Tampa FL with Florida Gardening, 
on a Sunday morning, EST,  so now even I have heard about a nasty 
little animal called the citrus rat. Heard best in the NFM mode but
 QSB communication in Russian is almost always there, interfering from 25875 .
 It's the feeder of the Florida station,  said to have 65 watts that is heard.  


By the way, 1305 Radio Druzhba, has now begun with a few commercial spots,  also
giving the phone number to those interested to buy time. Otherwise, as before a mix of
music from CIS countries and station id in various forms between every track.

73 and Good DX-ing
