This week the conditions were worse also  here in the F2 skipzone.  The 
audio signals sounded  smeared, and slightly lengthened by an echo.
KBC sent the same image in the radiogram, which means identical data 
were transmitted like last week.
This was a good way to compare the impulse length of the data tones,  
especially  the RSID.
In fact, these were somewhat "smeared", also optically, this weekend:

In the VOA radiogram yesterday  there was again a transmitter failure, 
this time of 38s.  (17580 kHz @16.06z)
However, it was back in time to send the image  for the first article - 
but it was the wrong picture - part of the second article:
