More logs using TWR's Kiwi SDR in Kempton Park, South Africa. After
20:30, strange noise bursts happen on the entire spectrum roughly twice
per minute. This turned out to be Johannesburg's HFDL (digital air
traffic communications) station which is located very close to Kempton
Park, and must cause an overload when using certain frequencies.
