allsorts claims that there are many stations in region 1 are sending only noise.
To put this to a test, I have checked a sample of the stations which send the highest number of signals and the answer is: yes, most of them, BUT NOT ALL, are suffering from interference. I used the last signal sent display to judge this. Unfortunately, just looking at the raw number cannot discriminate between real sferic signal and noise, so any number calculated from signals sent etc. will be misleading in some cases.
One has to look at the signal shapes in order to see if there is any interference for a certain station, and so far we have no way to detect that automatically.
