This was posted over on Twitter from DRM Digital Radio:
Bulgaria-based new DRM member Space Line Sofia-BUL will carry BBC content aimed at UAE on 19 May on 18950 kHz from 1200-1300 UT followed by one hour demo content from 1305-1405 UT.
The DRM Digital Radio General Assembly is being held on 19-20 May in Dubai
Might be interesting for those closer to the target to catch this because not only is it DRMode, but also in the seldom used 15 metre band.

Mark Hattam in Cornwall checked the transmission on 19 May and reports "It's detectable and occasionally decodes. Usual awful digital burping and repeating. There's also something weakly on 18970 kHz in standard AM ... probably CNR-1 blocking SOH.
