Same thing was seen here Paul. Don't have the evidence you do, but things were quite lively until I had to go out at 0330. When I got back about 0515 only a couple of feeble TA carriers remained. In fact I recall checking to see if I'd inadvertently flipped an antenna switch! 73, Nigel

The only audio so far is traces of a woman talking on 1413, but plenty of carriers on the other regulars.   The Iranian jammer on 1575 is showing up very clearly on the Perseus today. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether things will develop from here, or fizzle. 73, Nigel

Interesting you mentioned 1566, as here in Alberta this morning HLAZ was at least audible, but it was battling with another station on the frequency, about equal in strength much of the time. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Canada On 11/17/2018 10:44 AM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: HLAZ 1566
