Andy,
It would help if you named your attachments as .jpg files rather than
binary. After I opened your file I found it had compressed away
information on time and frequency.
I looked last night a bit for PBO too, from about 0930-1200Z. That's
certainly later than optimal but when I started EMP was coming in good
enough to aurally copy the Morse code. I'm lucky to have no TV
interference, just one "weird" trace and a couple of spur lines. Only
thing that might have been PBO was quite high in frequency, around
187.2013 kHz, so I doubt that was really it. If you indicate the
frequency where you saw it that would remove the doubt.
I've only caught traces of PBO in a couple of years of trying. I also
have trouble with the WMs, but recently they've both been showing up on
watering-hole captures. For some reason, probably the great sensitivity
of Wolf, TAG regularly decodes and SJ comes in decently from the East
even at QRSS20 when it's QRV.
