6195 kHz: some #DRM came up there. I don't have a decoder installed on my laptop but that matches an announcement about tests from Sender Waldberg🇩🇪, w/ SE-TA 2 & welle370 content repeated on & on, in various DRM configurations, Dec 27-30 @ 0900-1500z This video via G3SDR #KiwiSDR #shortwave #drmlog
819 kHz, right now: very weak trace of #DRM on this freq. As reported recently on mediumwave.info, KCBS Pyongyang had converted its MAIN frequency (500kW from Pyongyang) to DRM! I wonder if Uncle Kim is giving people DRM radios, which are very scarce outside... #mediumwave #mwdx #drmlog #NorthKorea

The oldest recording I've found of then-UNID station playing drum'n'bass music on a loop is dated Feb 10 2023 ▶

In fact, as the playlist this recording is part of indicates, Music 4 Joy played d'n'b for its first two broadcasts, and then went into various other electronic music genres, always seemingly AI-generated.

Or were they *first*?

@SW_Radio_Listener answered me he obtained info from Media Broadcast that M4J was on air already in Nov 2022 o.O

LMAO, Music 4 Joy is on YouTube 😱

I mean, the actual creator, not just recordings 😜

Their channel has zero content yet but there are a few details out there in the channel's tags:

Country: Germany (obvs xD)
Website: media-broadcast.com (that's their provider, they use Nauen🇩🇪 site)
Join date: Jan 16 2023 (while I think their 1st broadcast was in Feb 2023, then in AM mode)

The account had appeared briefly on the chat to this M4J stream, ongoing ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTZN-TYjeuI

Music 4 Joy 17670 kHz DRM 13:00 UTC 20.08.2024 LIVE 🔴

927 kHz on Joensuu🇫🇮 #KiwiSDR: 2-stream service, both just 8.0 kbit/s in plain old AAC 🙄 fortunately no audio decoded 😂

But look at the station names:
AIR TRICHY
NEWS(AIR TRICHY)

That's Tiruchirapalli, listed as 40kW. Also AM counterpart on 936 kHz, 100kW, mixing w/ some Chinese, but not with Iran yet.

Oddly enough, there's also Akashvani Visakhapatnam 🇮🇳 on 927 AM, which can be heard blended w/ Trichy DRM noise

#mediumwave #mwdx #drmlog

1233 kHz via Joensuu🇫🇮 #KiwiSDR: look at that, there's a #DRM signal with OPUS audio stream rather than AAC 😱 and just 4.26 kbit/s 😱😱😱 No audio decode unfortunately, but I imagine it sounded cr@p 🤑🤑🤑

Signal was gone as soon as I tuned in as Mauno was switching antennas, that's beyond my control LOL

Now I think neither Music 4 Joy on 7225 nor Romania on 7235 would decode... sidebands from CRIs on 7215 & 7245 are stepping onto them, plus they're simply too weak & too fady. #shortwave #DRM #drmlog
Ha, I'm getting an excellent decode of #Music4Joy #DRM on 7225 kHz from Nauen🇩🇪 in Pune, India 🇮🇳... but NOT in Poland, Hungary or Romania! #KiwiSDR #drmlog

13650 #Music4Joy #DRM went off abruptly, as always, at 1400:00z, but, untypical of DRM, the audio actually cut off a few seconds EARLIER than the signal itself, rather than a few seconds after (decoding delay).

Remarkable it decoded with a reasonably strong AM station on 13655 😮

Anyway, next broadcasts:
1800-1900z 13710 kHz
1830-1930z 7225
2000-2100z 9810
