Hi Gary 'et al'

I also saw [ and heard ] that here and have seen the same thing happen a 
number of times over the years - sometimes just for a few minutes and 
sometimes for an extended period during an opening. I agree with Paul that 
most likely the arrival angle becomes very high and then there is no 
appreciable F/S or F/B ratio hence the same, or nearly same, signal on all 
beverages. I have 6 540' beverages and a few loops here for RX.

P.S. This morning when I worked YN2I he was the same strength on all 
beverages for about 2 minutes then went back to 210 beverage [ SP bearing 
from here is 194 ] and was NIL on the other beverages.
