The Disco Palace DRM @ 17875 kHz, 30 Dec 2012
Apparently I never uploaded this. Better late than never, what with TDP being dead yet again this side of the world.
REE DRM @ 9780 kHz, 19 Jan 2013
There is just something about Noblejas around midnight here that, when it's seen at all, always has this kind of slow flat fading profile.
Of course it's a small miracle that I get any audio at all. When the plasma TV comes on it produces has an intermittent 4 kHz pulse right at 9780 kHz, and there's a constantly squiggle of interference that slowly crosses through 9780 kHz. At the time I took the screenshot, it's to the right and thankfully outside of the DRM signal.

RNZI DRM @ 11675 kHz, 13 Jan 2013
It's been a while since RNZI was received with decent strength. Usually 13730 kHz is a write off, and I haven't stuck around for 9870 kHz since the New Year.
BBC DRM @ 7355 kHz, 19 Jan 2013
Way better signal strength out of Moosbrunn compared to Woofferton, despite being farther away.
The only problem is that 6-7 MHz is way more susceptible to The Fridge compared to 9 MHz and 17 MHz. Still, there was sufficient SNR margin this time around. Above, the fridge stopped interfering, but in that time (I switched from 5875 kHz to 7355 kHz) there was no audio loss.
As the interference was occurring.
BBC DRM @ 5875 kHz, 13 Jan 2013
Standing tall in the face of interference.
Even when the fridge kicked in.
The vertical bars are probably plasma TV, and the interferer to the left appears to be a wireless router.

Wishing you a Happy New Year
And good shortwave reception in 2013
The next text transmission, in FLmsg format, just before 0200 UTC, will be in MT63-2000 (long interleave), centered on 1500 Hz, and PSKR250 on 2800 Hz.

I messed up my recording and did not get the MT63-2000 / PSKR250. Some blinking asterisks and a Happy New Year message was all I got amongst a bunch of errors.
