What Happened with WYFR in Florida with Radio Taiwan?
 

So I go to listen to one of my favorite radio programs, Radio Taiwan
International at 0200 UTC on 5950 kHz as I've been doing for what
seems like forever, and I just get some kind of "woosh woosh woosh "
electronic sound.

I tried my G5, my KA1102, my Sony ICF7600D, my G6 Aviator... all
the same.

Any ideas?

Regards, Cato

I am not sure that your subject heading question connects up with the
primary text of your post. How does WYFR come into the picture ? No
mention of it in your post....

Sounded like perhaps some kind of jamming.Or perhaps technical
problems somewhere in the line between RTI, Okeechobee and my radios.
I've now heard in some other radio groups that everyone has heard the
interference noise. It ended about 0307Z with RTI broadcasting
continuing to the Western U.S. and Western Canada. Some have
described it as a woosh woosh type of noise, others described it as a
thump, thump type of noise.
No word on what caused it. But it lasted for much of the first hour
of RTI's broadcast to Eastern North America.

The noise was pulsing quickly at about 220 times per minute.
