Shortwave Broadcast / Unidentified on 15640 KHZ

« on: April 02, 2018, 1441 UTC »

Heard a broadcast @ 14;14 UTC today on 15,640.   Various instrumental short songs interrupted every 60 seconds with a male announcer recording " You are listening to a test transmission" and periodic recorded requests to send reception reports to "transmissiontest@gmail.com" .  When i attempted to send the report and got an alert:

“transmissiontest@gmail.com.” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.

Anyone know who this transmitter is?

Thanks,
Don

Transmitting on 11,530 KHZ at 16:59 UTC 03.22.18 (11:59 Central Daylight Time Local)  in Spanish.   Standard 5 number groups with heavy QRM between groups spaced spaced about 20 seconds apart. SINPO: 4-3-2-2-3 Transmitter sight unknown but the few indicators I could uncover suggested transmitting from Australia (?!).  Can anyone shed any light on this?   Why would a Cuban Numbers Station XMT from "Down Under"??
Thanks,
Don
