There is a weak one right now on 11.970 MHz in the 25m broadcast band. This from a Kiwi in The Netherlands. Probably too weak to decode unless you can find a Kiwi with better reception. I agree that finding DRM broadcasts is harder than it should be. All the online schedules seem to be outdated.

All right, v1.304 has individual enabling of Navstar/QZSS/Galileo acquisition.

v1.303 is out with a new switch "Include Galileo?". Also fixed a bug where "Include alerted?" didn't have immediate effect each time you changed it. Also fixes-per-minute is shown as "f/min" at the bottom of the page.

Now I've seen cases where including non-alerting Galileo sats will change solutions ("S") from green to red reliably. So that seems to be an indication that not all sats capable of causing problems are marked alerted. But I've also seen plenty of cases where Galileo sats are providing perfectly fine solutions too.

This may have implications for the Kiwi as the Galileo code does not currently recognize a sat being in an "alarm" state preventing its use in position/timing solutions. For example the alarm state of QZSS sats is correctly detected and an option exists on the GPS tab of the admin page to include alarmed sats or not (Q195 is in alarm as of this writing).

The Galileo code does look for alert pages in the I/NAV messages (page type = 1). But none of these are currently seen. We are looking more closely at the Galileo ICD to see what other bits might be present the code should be checking.

Below is an image where the position solutions differ substantially when Galileo is included in the pool of sats (red markers) versus not (green markers). The green markers are close to the true position.
