cosmo - if you doing well, what part of a wave might you be on?

Could someone put me out of my misery and tell me what 2d is? ("Rogue broadcast in communist country").

aaaaarrrgghh Its just dropped . Thank you so much

Hi Cosmo,

Definition is part of a ship/boat very high up that's used for seeing if another vessel is approaching, but if you swapped the first letter of the second word with the first two letters of the first word and you'd have a Spoonerism meaning "familiar with" and "shape of waves".

HI Demeter,

It's a homophone/"broadcast" of a 5 letter word for a "rogue" - definition is a "communist country" (in SE Asia)

Thanks brendan. I even thought of that country, but couldn't see the homophone.

Hi again Brendan (belated response after breakfast break)
Once we accept that 'news' indicates more than one N, I suppose there could be an infinite number of them in the answer, so we can have 3, which also resolves the A = AN at the start. With that, and considerable relief (I inserted this answer 2 hours ago!), I'm having another croissant. Stay safe everyone.
