Subject: [WOR] Radio Progreso - Cuba
Noted last night (PST) that Radio Progreso ran overtime on 4765. My
experience
has been that they are off at 0500 UT. I did a quick bandscan at 0505 and
was surprised to find them still on until an abrupt and unceremonious cut at
0535.
The time seemed to be music fill.
They would be a nice listen if audio and reception was better. Surprised to
hear
the number of American oldies they play at times as music fill

UNIDENTIFIED. 7295-7300-7305, Feb 1 at 0725, no signal, DRM or
otherwise, into KFS ND SDR. Some of my regular SDRs in USA are not DRM
capable. Past nights there has been strong DRM there before 0800.
However, by 0732 when I check it direct, DRM noise at S9+35, so *0730?
It seems I am alone interested in this. Others ought to be awake and
able check it out easily. Guess, could be another pop-up test from
France, TDF. Still nothing on it at drmrx.org - BTW, link to schedules
