It's not too often that charts come out that well, there's a lot of QRM
around the
MF/HF bands below about 5 Mhz and most nights some fading, as evidenced by
the slight darker areas across the chart.
The intermittent dark band down the left side from the word "Joint" in the
title is
interference from RAF Scampton radar which is nearby.
I just noticed my own "QRM"...a slight out of focus area at the bottom of
the receiver..
turned out to be a bit of muck on the camera lens !!
