It sound like the "Luxemburg Effect". The signal was from the dipole
antenna.


The Luxemburg effect is usually contributed to the suspected Radio
Luxemburg intermodulation products caused by the _ionosphere_
nonlinearities.


Are such products the hours independent? Is ionosphere all time the same.
The dipole on the tip top of the mountain (the both end of the dipole were
:seen") produced the doubled frequency.

Similar intermodulation effects can be obtained by the nonlinearities
caused by rusty bolts in a transmitter tower.


The same was obtained in Warsaw tower (collapsed years ago).
Now Warsaw use monopole.
