Hello Markus, Stefan, LF!

My receiver is on my workplace, therefore at night I can't supervise its work 
directly. On screenshots I have noticed that with approximately 17:30 till 
02:55 UTC quality of reception strongly worsens. At first I thought that it, 
possibly joins any powerful device and creates a local QRN. To learn that this 
such, I have added in sheduled actions wave.record. In the morning, having come 
for work, I have analysed this record. It has appeared that the entrance signal 
from the aerial increases at night almost in 10 times. The microphonic 
amplifier of my sound card strongly there were nonlinear distortions. I have 
switched off the microphonic amplifier and have reduced factor of strengthening 
of the receiver (receiver has no AGC); probably, it will allow to have pure 
reception at night time.
So a continuous line on 136172 Hz is  result of nonlinear distortions in the 
microphonic amplifier.

PS On screenshots each division of a scale of amplitudes is 10 dB

    Thanks a lot Alex for this! I'm glad that both our signals made it across, 
in spite of unfavourable geomagnetic conditions.

    At the beginning of the screenshot, there was a continuous line very close 
to Stefan's frequency 136172.00 Hz. This does not fit the 6.25 Hz raster of 
Loran/Chayka GRI 8000. Do you perhaps have another explanation for it?  

    Best 73,
    Markus (DF6NM)
