I agree it was more than likely XLR8...
I say that based on:
A] the music
B] the fact that within minutes of WDDR being reported, they graciously went off air to not compete for listeners...

WDDR turned out to be a BIG thread for a weeknight broadcast. I know I put the word out on all hailing channels & many of the followers on my page & others logged the station...

Whoever it was, you're a class act in my book...

General Radio Discussion / Re: AIR-India to shut down short wave service

« on: May 08, 2016, 1858 UTC »

This is a "Stake through the Heart" of shortwave DRM...

India was clearly the driver behind DRM & was running the only dual stream DRM broadcast I've ever witnessed [41m]...

The fragility of DRM becomes pretty evident if you've ever tried to receive it... Signal to Noise ratio has to be far better than most analog signals, without room for fades, or it goes robotic!!

I will always remember 11620 being their main frequency!!!
