Yes, it was them: s.off at 2230 UTC, and the spurs disappeared.

Hallo Wolfgang, kann man irgendwie den Sendertechniker in Albanien
kontaktieren? Die 1458 kHz splattert seit ein paar Tagen die MW dicht, auf
1415 UT und besonders auf ca. 1500 kHz ist das extrem stark, wobei die
Effekte von 1386 bis 1557 kHz nachzuweisen sind. Ich selbst wurde von
Jurgen Bartels aus Norddeutschland "alarmiert", konnte den Effekt
vorgestern und heute nachvollziehen.

bei mir defekt ist, aber sowohl Perseus, LAN-SDR und die analogen konnten
das. Dachte schon meine DX-One hat ein Problem. Danke Patrick!

ASCENSION ISL Ascension Economist Article and photos [4 attachments].
Folks, pics just in from Ascension Isl and from a periodical an article
re ASC.
Thought you might find the following article from the Economist about
Ascension interesting.

Stories from the BBC Ascension Island shortwave relay station (now using
wind turbines). Posted: 25 Sep 2010
The Economist, 21 Sept 2010, Correspondent's diary: "You can't get BBC
television on Ascension. But you can get BBC electricity, and BBC water.
The World Service transmitters at English Bay, at the northernmost tip of
the island, can suck up megawatts of electricity as they broadcast news
and more across Africa (and, for a short while each day, South America).
As by far the largest consumer of electricity, it makes practical sense
for the corporation's installation to be the island's main generator,
too... .
The power for all this came, until recently, from a battery of seven V-12
marine engines, each of which delivers over a megawatt. Every 18 months or
so a tanker moors off English Bay and delivers about 6000 tonnes of fuel
to the tank farm there through a floating pipeline. This powers many of
the island's cars, as well as the generators. But it is an expensive and
troublesome undertaking, and recently the BBC invested in a big chunk of
fuel-free generating capacity - five Enercon E-33 330 kilowatt wind
turbines, spinning ceaselessly in the southeast trades, the whole system
officially inugurated just a couple of weeks ago. ...
Here on the volcanic plains, already dotted with antenna arrays of various
sorts serving not just the BBC but also a number of military
communications systems, not to mention intelligence agencies, they are
unquestionably magnificent, poised on their wave-splashed crags. But for
all their shiny newness, sublime siting and green credentials, they are
not the machines that inspire the most awe on a visit to the station.
