Will be interesting to see if there's a similar transmission tonight.Yes, there was. And again a VERY strong fully decodable signal here in NB with indoor equipment (KiwiSDR + W6LVP loop). According to my recording, the transmitter came on the air (or at least DRM started decoding) at just before 02:30 UTC. Again, this is on 9565 kHz and on 28 February (UTC) this time. The transmission started with a song by Malagasy composer and singer Eusèbe Jaojoby (thanks, SoundHound) in progress. More uninterrupted music followed. Turned out this was not the previously heard RFI Monde (or RFI Afrique feed) but rather RFI Musique, another of the four RFI streams:

RFI Monde: tout en français ;
RFI Afrique: tout en français, destiné à l'Afrique francophone ;
RFI Multilingue: pour les langues étrangères ;
RFI Musique: diffuse de la musique.
I don't know if RFI Musique has ever been on shortwave before or whether they have dedicated FM or DAB(+) outlets in France or elsewhere (WRTH not at hand). The transmission ended at about 02:57, unfortunately, in the middle of a song by Peter Tosh, the deceased Jamaican reggae musician who was also a member of the Wailers.
Again, after the RFI DRM transmission ended, there seemed to be a weak residual DRM signal on the frequency. But it wasn't seen on the waterfall of the U. Twente SDR receiver. What could this be?
