FRANCE   17545even again on Sunday Sept 28 txion from TDF Issoudun site on 
air,
15.00 UT til exact SWITCH  OFF time at 15.57:10 UTC, but remaining time only 
EMPTY CARRIER.

So they rent a full hour time amount at public TDF organization ?S=9+15dB backlobe strength into southern Germany again today.
Txion requested at hfcc.org database as 232 degr azimuth, 15-16 UT.
Today unused 7340 kHz channel registration shows 266 degr azimuth though.
When TX switched OFF at 15.57:10 UTC, a small signal string of S=5 remained 
visible on that

channel.So seemingly only final TX power stage switched off at 15.57 UT,
and the low power exciter signal on first stage kept still getting on power 
?

Same crash start at 1500 on 17545 with French male today.  "Securite", 
"Importante", etc.

I tried 7340, but only heard jamming, possibly against National Unity Radio.
Signal strength into Masset perhaps slightly weaker than yesterday.    73,

That's easy, Arthur.  It's because today's broadcast was VERY short.
It only lasted 15 minutes or less.  The English woman came on around 1507,
and mentioned that she was flying tomorrow, so clearly live and not robotic. 
73,  Walt
