S3-4,

Yes Kris, that was very disturbing here when the signal from Harmony was still weak. I noted at 1724 that bunch of carrier frequencies from about 6280 to 6320, all a pack !

So that mystery pack of carriers could be from E. Europa, Russia or Middle East ?

I too have noticed this wideband QRM for a few nights now, covering Harmony on 6310 khz and below. It can cause QRM to a few AM stations at a time.

Could this be Russian over the horizon radar? It looks similar and is strongest in Eastern Europe
