15315 ran until 1615UTC, nothing seen on 21620 yet.

SNR not high enough to copy any audio here, SDC came up intermittently but not long enough for full ID. :(

A weak signal here in Switzerland on 21620 kHz this evening. Just now QSY to HC JB.

You can forget 11825 here in Switzerland anyway, as all you can hear here is your "friendly Chinese synchronized squeaky QRM TX" which blocks this frequency totally. Grrrrr.....

Here's the results for yesterday's listening on 15315. Not so good here, never did get a solid ID. :(

Here's the chart for the entire period 17875 was up. Strongest reception on any Montsinery frequency for me yesterday. No logged results on 21620 or 11825 at all.

Nothing so far today on 21620.

Montsinery went with 17875 today and not 21620 - a good choice! I'll try for 11825 later tonight.

Oddly, no audio was heard, even though I had perfect decoding. This was verified by another DRM-NA listener near Atlanta, Georgia.

I did a quick check just to see what I could get - pretty good signal, but I couldn't hear anything :confused:

Only some very brief signal spikes here last night - obviously I'm out of the target zone! :rolleyes:

My thanks to Jacques G., Michel P. at TDF for letting us know about this test period. It was very nice to have Montsinery back on the air with DRM once again.
