Voice of Nigeria DRM @ 15120 kHz, 29 Sept 2012

The past couple weekends there was really nothing on the waterfall at 15120 kHz. Poor propagation conditions? Power went out? Who knows.


Took about 15 minutes, but SNR is now 14 dB and fading is currently modest. Last time, there were brief flat fades that the interleaver could sometimes handle, sometimes not. Also note that there is a -127 Hz carrier offset. Doppler is quite high. Only from Africa it seems.

Audio quality may be marginally better, but I'm not a connoisseur of people talking with a bag over their heads.


Bleed-over from REE was light as well, until...


At 19:26 UTC, audio feed temporarily cut out despite solid reception. Early on when decode was spotty there was also no audio feed.
