But also heard additional on Woofferton outlet 17820 kHz 300 kW,
The punchy audio from WOF is because we know how to set up Optimods!
Mart says it's a 300 kW transmission as well scheduled on a Marconi B6124.
(David Porter-UK  G4OYX)

17725 MEY was less strong here in Europe, compared to WOF 17820 kHz.

7405, -- just disturbed by STANAG digital signal on 7405 to 7408 kHz
broadband range.
At 17 UT noted still 7405 kHz from MEY on air
- but with "SW Radio Africa" program,
regularly 17-19 UT on MEY 100kW 4880 kHz,
multi annmts of stn ID "SW Radio Africa" and frequency of 4880 kHz,
bc time etc.
7405 kHz outlet from MEY ended late at 17.02:37 UT, when TX cut off power.

11620 MEY transmission had very nice signal at last hour 16-17 UT,
S=9+30dB, ended at 16.59:47 UT. All Meyerton-AFS outlets had only slight
echo signal delay of 1/10th second, when compared behind 17820 kHz U.K.
Woofferton outlet.

7505 kHz - no detail information arrived so far, most probably a relay
transmission from Ascension island installation towards West Africa.

Some observation:
7405 not heard in Europe at 13-15 UT daytime path time portion.
7405-7408 STANAG digital signal QRM.
7500-7540 OTHR Broadband signal from China or Iran ?
7505 covered by Voice of Russia Hindi from Orzu TJK.
11620 MEY heard only in 16-17 UT hour, proper S=9+30dB in Europe.
