Bill, from my experience it happens when there are lots of high power signals pulling down the RX.

this is the same experience I have. When the bird is over Africa with no stations or max one station calling in the whole passband, I can hear my own signal usually down to 2 degrees elevation and that's with 2 x lindenblad antennas. As soon as two or more stations with high power start uplinking, my little signal disappears. 73 IS0/IZ8DWF
