- in my summer QTH now the band is dead. What's worse, every 20kHz in a very wide range there is a peak
  of interference, probably coming from the transducer of the solar panels adjacent to the fence.

on 6130
0739 music,
day long here, but on middle of day, it's disturbed by RFI on 6132.
For months, I thought it was a UT (as there was a UT on 6132 at night).

Not a UT !
At last I have identified that RFI : a solar panel with harmonics every 23 kHz radiated from about  5 up to 8 MHz. Located 200 meters away, but more than 1 km by the streets, and I walked more than 1 hour in the neighbourhood with my Sony in hand before finding the smallest trace of this RFI with only the telescopic antenna.
Had a friendly chat with that far away neighbour. We will try to find where the problem is exactly, as a close neighbour of him has the same hardware with just less power and no RFI near his electric meter box.
The RFI is only during daytime, but this could come also from another device just shut off at night.
