FRANCE 17800.095v kHz Nov 1 at 1501 UT, MiniTrans.
At yacht race marine weather in French, meteo, after a bit of music, S9.
Carrier is audibly and visibly wobbling, plus/minus at least 7 Hz, centred
more or less here but difficult to pinpoint. I wonder if clients get a
discount for a defective Issoudun transmitter or even know about it.Others continue reporting the DRM version at 1700 UT on 17795-17805 kHz.
Chris Mackerell-NZ, says, "If they use the "DRMcast" stuff again you won't
be able to decode it without borrowing one of the special "suitcase" re-
ceiver / decoders from one of the yachts. Cheers, Chris".
Well, I had no problem decoding it with an ordinary KiwiSDR.
And Hansjoerg Biener, Germany, says, "On earlier occasions, DXers were
told that neither TDF nor organizers of the race were interested in re-
ception reports from outside"

Today, Nov.1 they finally got a normal sounding voice speaker and a real
live speakerine (for the English) report.On Sun, Oct 31, 2021 at 1:28 PM JColes0727 <jcoles0727@rogers.com> wrote:
I received Minitransat TDF in Ottawa, Canada today and yesterday around
1700UT in DRM. Weather forecasts in French and English. The voice is
gender-ambiguous, might be computer-generated.
Received with AirspyHF+ and MLA-30 antenna using gqrx and decoded with
Dream.
DRM mode was 8.08kbps EEP aac Mono. Signal occupies only 10kHz bandwidth.
Gqrx shows the frequency as 17795. Does this count as 17800 because the
"DC frequency of DRM signal" (shown in Dream) is 5kHz?
