Title: Deutsche Welle testing?
Post by: Treehouse SWL on December 17, 2018, 0403 UTC

This is from a couple days ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting it ...

After Deutsche Welle's scheduled 1800-1900 UTC Hausa language broadcast on 15200 kHz via Issoudun, France, on Friday (Dec. 14), there were several minutes of uninterrupted music, with no announcement, on that frequency. Wondering if it was some sort of testing or just a mistake. The music ended and the signal signed off before 1930 UTC.

Here's the refrain of music ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aXMQQff-oI

They might have been adjusting gear, might have been a dj f up. I never noticed dj f ups till I spent time as one at an am station, from then on I always seem to catch them.
