Radio Harmony back on 6310 AM 0945 UTC 31 May 2018

Thanks, Ray,

My HF receiver doesn't have such a precise freq display as yours. Signal still a mystery then.

0945 UTC - unmodulated carrier received again now peaking between S4-5 in N England with my tuned halfwave dipole.
1001 UTC - Signal strength increased noticeably to S7 now

0955 carrier on 6309.85
(is outside of the previous drifting range of Harmony)
edit : maybe Harmony TX on a cold start (not usual, they were 24/24)

1030 now on 6309.80 approx. , level around S6, but with sudden drops to S3 maybe

1140 on 6309.79 approx., and very low mod ? talking
1154 as far as I can hear, it's real AM with only one carrier, and they just pushed the carrier to 6309.87 approx., then drifting again: at 1200 on 6309.91 approx.
1202 mod level going up, with music

I think this carrier is stronger in power than I would normally receive harmony during the morning/daytime here.  It is now the strongest signal I am getting compared to all other AM signals between 5900 and 6300 khz....

1005 UTC signal increased to S7 at peaks
1010 UTC signal peaks at S9 here now
1017 UTC S9+5db peak
1020 UTC signal droping into the noise and now S1-2 (entering the skip zone?)

9+40  silent carrier.
There's a lot of noise around this frequency and it's not local to me.
