clandestine, at 1709 UT on May 01, repeating no service telephone ann,
tones and "We are sorry, you have reached...", pause and then programming
kicked in with two men in Swahili. This broadcast is on the air Sa only,
1700-1800 UT. Poor.

As Brian Alexander, PA, said on April 10, 2010, I heard the same today
[Saturdays only] via France, 15410, Radio Y'Abaganda, *1700-1715*, May 01,
Non-stop audio loop consisting of music tone and announcement loop saying
"We're sorry you've reached a station that is unavailable at this time.
Please try to tune in later" with "Live 365.Com" jingle.
Into vernacular talk at 1724 UT, several interview like presentations.
Sudden sign off at 1759 UT while audio was running. Weak to fair
reception, noisy conditions after 1730 UT.

tape loop consisting of tones and saying "We're sorry you've reached
a station that is unavailable at this time. Please try again later". Into
vernacular talk at approximately 1715. Poor to fair in noisy conditions.
Saturdays only.

Ismaning will cease SW transmission 6085 kHz in DRM for ever, due of
budget cuts.
Ich habe eben im DAB-Forum eine Info gelesen, der BR stellt DRM ein.

Perhaps the gossip in detail is of interest: Someone posted under
pseudonym that he wrote Bayerischer Rundfunk engineering about a pretty
low audio level of the DRM signal, and he says that the reply also
mentioned that it is planned to cancel the DRM transmissions as a cost
saving measure (this not necessarily means that the money will be cut,
rather it will be spend for other purposes instead).
