Any other interesting conflict-related frequencies worth monitoring these days?

It's a bit tough for me to get European signals from Australia, but I feel like the bleeps and bloops on the maritime band have been different lately.

Where are they broadcasting from? Did they pull an old transmitter out of mothballs or use an existing transmitter for elsewhere?

It is likely the BBC are leasing SW transmission time from Countries south of Russia & Ukraine.

Is it time that we really took a good look at DRM on LW, MW, and SW ?

I just realized the obvious - I can DDG the frequency and see if it's listed.

https://shortwaveschedule.com/index.php?freq=15735 says "Yerevan-Gavar", so Armenia. You were right.

No other currently scheduled transmissions.

http://www.hard-core-dx.com/article.php?story=20191120021502... says they have been a "Persian IRAN INTERNATIONAL TV audio relay".

Yes! You saw the Chart: Mr. Smith,

They may have booked other Freq's and Countries too!
