Merlin taking a break from the airways for a while. He thinks he's being followed and there's an observation van at his transmitter site.

Good signal here with some fades. S9. CD at 1849.
Good enough signal to notice the slight distortion on the audio.

Weak. Noisy conditions so hard to discern. Might be squeeze box music which would figure if it's Irish music.

1940 utc :

spur from 6145 KBS Wooferton : on 6205 approx.

spur from 6155 IRIB : on 6220 approx.

Both probably PDM filter faults.

Re the spitting jamming, I don't think this is deliberate jamming. An almost identical signal can be received on 6282ish.

On my Kenwood HF scanner, if a high power signal is received too strong, it can cause interference on other frequencies around the band, I have an attenuator switch I can use to lessen the signal overdrive... it has nothing to do with the transmitters though, simply a high power HF signal being received too strongly.  My attenuator switch allows me to attenuate reception by 10 to 40 db in 4 stages.

In your case, perhaps not but the spurs mentioned are faults in the transmitters.
