Your data seems generally consistent with Bob's intended switch-on time: in
an early message he said he was switching off to go to dinner, and
*intended* to switch back on at 2330.

I don't know the switch-on time but here is a series of
10 minute measurements in 1.66 mHz bandwidth,

Time is start time of 10 minute measurement.  Looks like it came on within
+/- 5 mins of 00:30 UT - but was there some tune-up or something before
then, say from 00:10 onwards?
Hard to say from here.  Background noise starts to rise rapidly from about
23:30 but this is distinguishable by
its random phase.   Phase seems to go steady from 00:10
onwards.
