Well, Project Leap Second took a flying one!

I have a stereo recording, WWV 10MHz  from the R30 on left channel, CHU 
7335kHz from the NRD-535 on the right.  But much more than that, I have an 
example of bad conditions.

For anyone who's interested the file is ~80kB here:

More obvious that the time signals though, is what has been plaguing me by 
way of utility station interference.  This stuff is everywhere.  After the 
fact I discovered 15MHz had cleared up, but by then it was too late.

Oh well, I'll always know I recorded it, even if you can barely hear it.

In the process I discovered an automated weather broadcast on 8502kHz USB, 
very strong, rather strange.

I'm confused enough, I'd best get back to MW, where everything is nice and 
orderly.
