Hi John yes there are Mil stations that come up sporadically with RTTY or
GMSK. They are fairly narrow < 100Hz but the splurge that Chris reported
seemed much wider....more like interference than a genuine signal.

Alan,

Thank you for your suggestions regarding tracking down the QRM, but this
morning the signal on 145 kHz is no longer there. What I have noticed is
that there is now an RTTY signal on 147 kHz about the same strength here as
longwave Radio 4.

I shall continue monitoring while recommissioning my 136 kHz softrock.
