[time-nuts] Is there anything wrong with DCF77?

I've got nothing running at the moment that decodes or locks to DCF77, and  
obviously can't comment on the possibility of localised interference, but 
here  on the west coast of Scotland the signal certainly looks and sounds 
just as it  always does.
 
It's a nice clean signal peaking at approx -77dBm as opposed to MSF on  
60KHz peaking at -50dBm, which is much as I would expectd given that MSF is  
very much closer.

For the  past several days (now thirty hours straight), none of  my
radio-synchronized clocks has been able to synchronize with DCF77.  Is
there a problem with the transmitter, or maybe a geomagnetic storm  or
something that could explain it? I've been looked at the  transmitter
Web site and searching for news and information on any  disturbances
that would affect reception, but I haven't found anything. I'm  about
500 km from the station. The only thing I have that will sync is  my
wristwatch, and it will only do it if I stand outside in an open  area.
