RN da Amazonia on 11780 with upgraded power but no DRM yet at 01:15UTC

Quite surprised to be hearing RN da Amazonia with S9+, SINPO 55555, on 11780 at 01:00UTC. Looks like their transmitter power was upgraded but then again they are showing beaming 0 degrees, mainly playing music (Cumbia) and referencing Cuba, hence why signal is booming to my QTH.
I read that they has tested DRM and was in the process of getting ready to broadcast in DRM. Waterfall shows a wide bandwidth but no DRM of of this monitoring. Mix of Portuguese and Spanish Cumbia music.
Talk in Portuguese about Miami, so service is beamed to us here.

Waterfall shows they are broadcasting on full 10 Khz like stations that transmit on DRM. So far I can only hear Radio Romania on 6040 on DRM only to the US.

About a year ago they were transmitting daily tests in DRM at 11925 (I believe - going from memory, but it was definitely 119xx). They ceased and have yet to resume. I would get it very well here in Colorado for about an hour some days, but it would be rough to impossible otherwise. 11780 has always been AM, they've never transmitted DRM on that frequency.
