Again now.

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.

What a pity ! Attenuate the antenna signals because just behind there is too much amplification !
I rarely use the ATTN , I can set the RF gain lower. And the ATU really tunes.
Believe me, those spurs are spurs !

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

Tonight we have the usual spitting utility on 6203 6204 but now another CW type utility on top of it.

What's this? Utility jamming out utility now? It sounds very useless to me.
And Laser moved away

The CW/FSK utility on 6204 kHz is RIT navy transmitter near Severomorsk (according to my previous observations). RIT is quite active these days, and the most probable reason is recent incident with russian submarine in Barents sea.

I have a contact at WOF. I've asked him to investigate this sprog.

This could be the culprit:
