Hello Pieter-Tjerk,
At my location Iceland at 207 kHz is plagued by SNRT from Marrocco,
which overrides it at night and is also audible underneath Iceland
at daytime. Due to this co-channel interference, the carrier of
Radio Iceland is fading fast up and down a few dB (motorboating).
The transmitter on 187 kHz has a stable carrier here and at daytime
the level is - 101 dBm. 16 minutes before the eclipse the level
dropped to -117 dBm. This dip happened in the course of three
minutes.
After the dip the signal gradually increased to -80 dBm at the time
of eclipse. It stayed at that level for 3 minutes and than gradually
dropped to -101 dBm at 10:15 UTC.
The increase in signal strength was 21 dB.
