[HCDX] Brandon Jordan Logs - VOA DRM test transmission

[Brandon Jordan <bcdx.org@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been receiving a VOA/HCJB DRM transmission on 9,405 kHz from 0205 
tune in. I was re-installing the Dream software on my PC this evening, 
and just happened upon this test transmission as I was scanning for a 
DRM transmission to test my set up. Not sure which transmitter this one 
is originating from.

Programming has been VOA Music Music until 0300, then News followed by 
American Gold program, featuring "Rock's First 10 Years, Part One". 
Signal quality is very good, and the DRM audio stream is 20.90 kbps 
mono. There are also images being sent, VOA and HCJB logos.

Also, DRM listeners beware. Earlier this year I received image files 
sent via DRM from a TDF test transmission that contained viruses! My 
virus software picked them up as soon as they downloaded, but I was 
quite surprised to say the least and contacted TDF to let them know. 
They seemed surprised also. Of course, the image files received during 
this VOA transmission were clean.
