Oh hey, Voice of Nigeria DRM has no audio feed

Or rather, has no voice.

One might think that there should be at least one quality monitoring station to report this kind of thing so it would be fixed. Or maybe they do, and the conversation went something like

"This audio quality is an embarrassment to the country! Turn it off!"

Flash update: the audio stream came back at 19:41 UTC and it's broadcasting... noise. That's right, white noise, the kind with a flat power spectral density.


If I wanted 3 kHz of noise, I could just use upper sideband on an unoccupied slice of spectrum. On the other hand, this isn't as irritating as their sorry attempt at broadcast quality audio.
