I was doing the dishes at about 0100 and trying to listen in on the BBC on
5975 with my Sat. 800, and they were barely pushing S-3. I was just
listening again at 0130 on my JRC 545 and their signal was +20 for a moment,
then it dipped down to about S-9 with just static during the news headlines.
They came on again in the middle of the headlines report about 10 seconds
later. The transmission seems to be OK again at 0137.

Did anybody else experience this?

That signal goes up and down quite a bit on the hour and half hour. Some
times it goes off all together for a few seconds. When they did this
often times my old R8 sync would drift off during the break and then
howl when the signal came back up.

They are either switching transmitters or antennas during these times.
