I am currently watching the Novokuzhnetsk SDR with the intention of observing the Mongolian LW frequencies.
227 came on with a weak signal at 22:06 UTC before falling away two minutes later.
A short time later at 22:10, one or more of the 209 transmitters powered up. This is still visible at 22:16.
The main transmitter on 164 hasn’t shown up at all. From monitoring this particular SDR on a nightly basis for the past two weeks, the 164 seems to suffer from false-starts on power-up, as in it seems to take more than one attempt to get it online as the carrier appears and disappears several times before becoming steady.
So far I have not heard the interval music to signify the start of the day’s broadcasting. This is usually audible at around 22:06 UTC.
MNB has seen my message enquiring about the current status of the LW transmitters but for whatever reason has not replied as of yet.
I will keep observing for the next hour or so and inform you of any updates,
