5955 Democratic Voice of Burma, Tentative, 2320-0030 UT. At tune in,
noted instrumentals music until 2327 at which time the signal goes silent
for 3 minutes to 2330. Between 2330 to 0059 noted a program of Oriental
language news, commentary and features which featured male and female
commentators. On the hour, at 0001 comments continue until 0006 when music
is presented. Signal has improved from at threshold level at 2320 to a
good level at 0006.
The only station I can find that comes close to this schedule on 5955 is
the Democratic Voice of Burma, relayed from Germany. Of course that
applies if we say the schedule began at 2330 after the silent period
mentioned above; to do that we need to ignore the 7 minutes from 2320 to
2327 when I heard music on this frequency.
At that time, Germany may have been relaying a different station on the
same frequency? The word "Burmese" heard at 0015. Minutes later, a male in
Language mentioned "Burma" during his comments. At 0026 after the above
commentary from 0015 to 0026, music is presented. Music stops abruptly at
0029 and is followed by dead air. and at 0030 signal drops off the air.
Signal was good at the end.

Heusweiler 1422 kHz: New transmitter on air
Alerted by this thread:
An improved audio quality clearly indicates that on last Thursday the
remaining Thomson tube transmitter on the Heusweiler site has been
decommissioned and replaced by the new 400 kW Transradio transmitter (with
new audio processing as well, thus the obvious change of modulation
characteristics) for Deutschlandfunk on 1422 kHz.
It has meanwhile been revealed in the already referenced photo thread that
some time ago the output of the old equipment on 1422 had been further
reduced to just 300 kW.
