Have something that sounds Russian or like a similar Slavic language at 1620UTC on 15200khz here in alaska. 

I can’t quite tell if it’s news or a religious broadcast but it’s a man and woman talking. 

It sounds like it’s getting jammed.  There’s a buzzing, like a power line nearby going bad… that’s cycling in and out here

GUAM 15200, 1601-, KTWR Apr 19 Special Ukrainian programming starting at 16:01 with a crash
start.  No IS.  Unfortunately, centered on a frequency with 15 to 20 kHz wide OTH radar.  Fair to Fair + signal.

That’d be it.  It’s KTWR. Thanks to the hfu guys in the discord chatroom for being the first with the answer

Also very well heard here in Austria, 30km east of Vienna. We had just featured this on A-Dx list here.

Listening today, started a bit after 1600 hrs UTC but with OTHR interference. Good signal of KTWR, shame about the QRM.
Indoor setup: Elad FDM-S2 & MLA-30 antenna. One stock & another modified.
Outdoor radios: XHDATA D-808, Tecsun PL-330, Tecsun PL-390.
