Here`s where to sign up http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxld/ ** ALGERIA. 1422, RTA (several channels), Ouled Fayet, is being talked about these days possibly because of a major power increase; their signal here in SW Europe is about the same as ever, viz. about the same as the other dominant station on the channel, DLF Heusweiler, to a point that both alternate with approx. the same signal level evenings; some days, ALG dominate for more time, others it's D that puts the best signal during most of the time. Of course, this has to do with distance and frequency, not merely power. Yesterday, 19 Mar, RTA 1422 & 252 were only noted parallel, say, around 2145, but not so at 1915 (Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ARMENIA. Public Radio of Armenia verified my report early March this year. Enclosed were of course the QSL card and special verification letter written by general Director Armen Amirian and their most recent schedule. They were pleased to hear that I have an opportunity to watch their TV channel 1 via Hotbird in addition to the shortwave reception. Public radio of Armenia from Yerevan broadcasts in English as follows (times UT, frequencies kHz): 1910-1930 4810, 9965 days 1-6 German: 1850-1910 4810, 9965 days 1-6 They have their Internet Website at: http://www.armradio.am (Jukka Kinkamo, UK? Finland? DX LISTENING DIGEST) Unfortunately, their own website is wrong, as English has been widely reported lately at 2010-2030 UT; maybe an hour earlier for A06? (gh) ** AUSTRALIA. RADIO AUSTRALIA RELAYING ABC FAR NORTH ON SHORTWAVE FOR CYCLONE LARRY COVERAGE I'm listening to the stream of ABC Far North for their coverage of Cyclone Larry. They just had the acting Manager of ABC on to say that Radio Australia is now relaying the coverage for those that have lost local transmitters. Frequencies are 11650 kHz 7 am-7 pm (2100-0900 UT), and 6020 kHz 7 pm-7 am (0900-2100) UT (Wade Smith, New Brunswick, 0031 UT March 20, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) Far North Queensland, that is, as in http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1595585.htm (via Mike Terry, ibid.) Two feeds are available featuring coverage of Tropical Cyclone Larry currently hitting Northern Queensland, Australia. The Northern Queensland Service of the ABC is currently available via the Coast FM internet stream http://www.abc.net.au/radio/localaudio.htm and click on the Coast FM link. Alternatively, the domestic radio service is currently available via Shortwave on 11650 kHz (Paul, NZ, 0218 UT March 20, HCDX via DXLD) ABC Local Radio Queensland program with Cyclone coverage. Good reception on 6020 at 1130 UT March 20, 2006 (Wade Smith, New Brunswick, ibid.) Heard here too around 1330 (gh, OK, DXLD) Radio Australia / cyclone On March 18th, Radio Australia had news items about tropical cyclone Larry and its expected impact on the Queensland. On the 19th, at 1200 UTC there are warnings for the coast near Cairns, with expected winds of 120-170 km/h and tidal surges of up to 2 meters in low lying areas. High tide early Monday morning is likely to coincide with strongest winds and landfall. This is a category 4 storm, the strongest to hit the region in a number of years, The coverage on Radio Australia is quite informative, announcing evacuation centers, urging evacuation, and so on (Roger Chambers, Utica, New York, March 19, ODXA via DXLD) ** AUSTRALIA [non].

Guarujá (Paulista), Guarujá SP, the typical "identificações" on air only mention 3 of all the actually used frequencies, and does not fully match what's visible right on top of http://www.radioguarujaam.com.br where 3385 is listed instead: ZYK 590 - 1550 kHz, maybe in Guarujá itself or in Santos SP ZYG 860 - 3235 kHz, tx in Marília SP ZYG 850 - 5045 kHz, tx in Presidente Prudente SP ...

Re 6-047, the 21m RCI frequency in the mornings 13-16 was indeed originally shown as 13665 instead of the present 13655, but now we see in the pdf at http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/PDF/A06_SW.pdf and also the Week of Confusion schedule 14-17 it`s back to 13655.

Even before the nuclear stand- off of the past two weeks, it was a story guaranteed to inflame anti- Tehran feelings. Behrouz Sour-e Esrafil, the news anchor on the U.S.-based channel called Azadi, explains that this typifies Iran's horrific treatment of journalists, blissfully unaware that "Barareh" is the name of a fictitious village in Iran's best known comic soap opera. . . http://www.ufppc.org/content/view/3998/2/ (via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** IRAN. IRAN abandons summer time --- Iran had been due to introduce summer time at midnight local tonight (2030 GMT 20 March), coinciding with the start of New Year 1385.

Doug Garlinger, President, NASB http://www.shortwave.org/sharedspectrum.htm The viability of the U.S. private shortwave broadcaster depends upon the availability of suitable frequencies for international broadcasting. In 1980, there were only four private shortwave broadcasters licensed in the United States and its territories. In the mid-80’s, there were calls for a moratorium on further licensing of private shortwave broadcasters due to a world-wide frequency shortage. Fortunately, no moratorium occurred, and the private shortwave industry has grown steadily through the strategic use of in-band and out-of-band frequencies. An examination of the current A05 HFCC schedule will reveal that approximately 40% of the frequency-hours used by U.S. private broadcasters are out-of-band frequencies authorized on a non- interference basis. It is a concept based on the sharing of HF spectrum that has worked well for twenty years. In the last year, however, there have been numerous instances of stations being displaced from out-of-band frequencies that were shared by the private broadcaster for many years. This is a tremendous hardship on any station. It is particularly difficult for a small 100 kW (or less) station that relies upon out-of-band frequencies to allow their signals to arrive at their target areas without the competition of strong co-channel or adjacent channel interference from powerful government-funded international broadcast stations. A few private broadcasters have 250 kW and 500 kW transmitters with sophisticated antenna arrays that allow greater flexibility in the choice of frequencies and can compete with government broadcasters in the selection of suitable in-band frequencies. However, even these more powerful private broadcasters sometimes use out-of-band frequencies due to the intense competition in the international frequency coordination process. Nearly all of the twenty-five private broadcasters use out-of-band frequencies for a portion of their broadcast day and some smaller stations use out-of-band frequencies exclusively. Two primary factors threaten the continued use of out-of-band frequencies. One is the natural technological advancement in HF Communications techniques that will result in more intensive use of the available spectrum. HF e-mail and other digital data technologies will present new pressures for spectrum use by Fixed Services and Land, Aeronautical and Maritime Mobile Services. It may be several years before the analysis of these needs can be properly placed in a document for consideration at a WRC conference. The greater threat to the continued use of out-of-band frequencies is the result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Several U.S. government agencies are drafting plans to protect America from future attacks by reclaiming HF spectrum previously shared with U.S. private shortwave broadcasters. The Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Justice Department and other local jurisdictions are rediscovering HF. Many of these government agencies are re-asserting their inherent right to these out-of-band frequencies whether they actually need them or not. There is no effective argument to be made by a private broadcaster that can trump the national security interest. Many out-of-band frequencies are being lost. It is increasingly difficult or impossible for the private broadcaster to find a new one. The status quo has that has served us so well for the last twenty years was forever changed by the events of September 11th. In WRC-03, the NASB supported efforts to expand the in-band HF broadcast spectrum between 4 and 10 MHz by at least 250 kHz. The catch-22 in supporting such expansion is that if successful, the result may be the curtailment of the authorization of any out-of-band frequencies. The cure could be as bad as the illness. Opponents of expanded frequencies for HF broadcasters are carefully searching the shortwave bands and comparing the actual frequencies used with the HFCC coordinated database. Whenever an unused frequency is found that has been coordinated for use; it gives ammunition to these opponents that the industry does not need additional frequencies. It is vitally important that all broadcasters actually use all the frequencies they have coordinated. These unused frequencies known as ``wood`` should be released in the database to other users. It should be noted, that in the event of a national emergency that results in the activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS); all U.S. licensed private shortwave broadcasters are required to cease transmission during the period of an Emergency Action Notification (EAN) issued by the White House. In addition, the FCC can order any station to leave the air on an individual basis at any time. Shared out-of-band frequencies used by private broadcasters can be made immediately available to government agencies if the need arises. The National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters must have a voice in forums that will affect our future. This point was stressed during discussions at our annual meeting in Washington. We plan to participate in the IWG-4 meetings to develop the U.S. position for WRC-07. On June 16th, our legal counsel Ed Bailey represented NASB at the IWG-4 meeting in Washington DC. In the future, the NASB intends to send a representative to as many meetings as possible. As the IWG-4 meetings progress, the NASB must determine the likelihood of U.S. government support for band expansion. We must preserve the availability of spectrum for our use in the solar minima of the next sunspot cycle. We must determine the continued viability of out-of- band authorizations and work to protect our shared use of those frequencies on a non-interfering basis as we have for the last twenty years (NASB via DXLD) ** U S A. MUSIC TIME IN AFRICA (VOA) SCHEDULE CHANGE Matthew Lavoie announced today on MTIA that starting April 2 they will be playing the shows, which were previously two separate half-hour shows, back-to-back twice on Sundays, at 0900 and again at 1930 UT. They will also be repeating Sunday`s programs on the following Saturdays at the same times. I get the show at 1930 on 17895 // 15240 here in central Pennsylvania USA. I think the show has improved somewhat since Lavoie replaced Rita Rochelle as the announcer. Lavoie seems more knowledgeable about the music and provides more background information about what he is playing. Leo Sarkesian still is active as the "Senior Music Man", and they usually play some of his field recordings in the first segment of the program. I have gotten myself on their mailing list and have received two mailings from the show recently. One envelope contained a 2006 VOA calendar and program guide (Scott Walker, New Cumberland PA USA, March 19, swprograms via DXLD) I'm surprised! I thought that the VOA stopped sending *anything* to domestic US addresses via postal mail some years ago. We couldn't even get schedules in print form. Did they resume sending stuff out officially or do correspondents with US postal addresses sometimes get things and usually not, or does it depend on what office or program-producer within the VOA you are corresponding with, or perhaps if the writer states that he is within the US temporarily but really is a foreign resident? With the budget difficulties, I'm surprised that the VOA would have loosened the restrictions. I thought that they used the no-domestic- distribution legal restriction they operate under as a justification to basically ignore any US-citizen communications. (Maybe this was an "official" attitude but the real people producing the programs appreciated audience response even if it was from someone not in the target audience?) 73, (Will Martin, MO, ibid.) You ask too many questions |:0 (gh) My guess is that this is the reason I got lucky and received some information from them. 73 (Scott Walker, ibid.) ** U S A. Radio Martí - 1180 never has run 100 kW on a continuous basis. Has 2 x 50-kW transmitters that they alternate unless one's down for repair. Radio Martí has the odd practice of closing down ALL transmitters, that means all SW transmitters and the 1 MW, from 0000- 0500 [ET] Monday Morning. A throwback to the 60's and the time that Radio Martí - 1180 is taken down for weekly maintenance. In other words, the Whole Dern Radio Martí network goes down just for Radio Martí - 1180. Every twice-yearly SW change of frequencies and hours circus time, somebody at Greenville always misinterprets the new HFBC sked and puts 1 or 2 transmitters on the air at what would be 0400 Monday and wonders, and calls Washington as to why Radio Martí isn't sending programming. Well, the sked just changed....and you guys got it wrong again! Lordy, how many times did I tune up 9865 or 9565 at 0500 Monday and got silence. And then it dawned on me that it would be 0600 that Radio Martí - 1180 would start because of the international sked change. Sigh, gotta get up and go shut down the [bad word] transmitter! When will we learn? Leonor and I rode the US-1 highway down the Keys twice. And it is the simple truth that in broad daylight, e.g. 1300 local, that we couldn't hear Radio Martí - 1180 on a good car radio until the four towers were coming into sight!! All because of the directivity of the pattern and the intense jamming out of La Havana on the frequency. Call-in programs on Radio Martí (call-ins from Cuba) say that 1180 still makes it into Cuba clearly in a lot of places --- if you use a set with a ferrite loopstick to null the nearest jammer. 73 de (Charlie Retired VOA Transmitter Troll Taylor, IRCA via DXLD) Charlie, A few years back I started seeing that Radio Marti/VOA was listed as 100 KW. So they aren't using it? I did hear it is a tight pattern. By your comment, it must be. Then from Oregon, that is a pretty good catch I would say. I did not know it was that tight. That reminds me of the stories I heard about VOA 1178 Okinawa. I heard you could not hear the station on the other side of the island from Naha. Now that is one tight pattern, especially running 1,000,000 watts! (Patrick Martin, OR, ibid.) Nope. And it's NOT VOA. Radio Martí is a sister subagency to VOA under IBB. Studio is in Miami. Uses IBB/VOA transmitters and pays for power and personnel. Sad we lost it [Okinawa megawatt]. One of the younger site assistant supervisors of VOA-1178 Okinawa became my transmitter site supervisor at Greenville and tried his best to get me to quit. He's dead now (not my doing) and so I have no further use for him. About not being to hear it in Naha?? Probably an exaggeration. In the Philippines, I could always hear VOA-1140 anywhere I went on Luzon while it was on its Viet Nam pattern (Charlie Taylor, ibid.) I was on Okinawa 1976-79 and my first "official" station log was VOA- 1180 (later 1178) near Okuma (resort area). My location was south of the prefectural capital city of Naha (more or less: 26-12-01 N 127-41- 51 E) and it was an easy log. Same for the VOA-Philippines on 1140. Days of yore (Mike Hardester, ibid.) Charlie, I have been checking the current job openings for the Broadcasting Board of Governors (VOA, Radio and TV Marti, and various support elements) weekly for years. I find it to be an interesting insight as to what the agency is doing. For example, VOA recently hired a number of TV producers and TV tech support personnel in the DC area. So they are ramping up for something involving video. The Office of Cuba Broadcasting in Miami presently has an opening for an Electronics Technician. One of the KSA requirements is a knowledge of aerostat-based TV broadcast transmission. I had heard rumors that the TV Marti aerostat in the Keys was destroyed by Katrina / Rita and would not be replaced. This job opening seems to contradict that rumor (Pat Griffith, CO, ibid.) Pat Griffith, Everything is moving toward satellite, VOA-TV and Worldnet (Not really sure what Worldnet was. Maybe IBB-TV) Maybe VOA- TV will replace Worldnet. Anyway, just like BBC, VOA is cutting back on SW broadcasting. For a major part of the developed world, SWBC is gone. Whose grandkids listen to SW (or AM, for that matter)? It's either satellite or TV or Internet. That leaves vast stretches of South America and Africa unaccounted for. Well, even outback Brazil has cellular telephone, satellite dishes everywhere, and the Internet. And VOA dropped Portuguese to Brazil [net LA-3] years ago. Only the poor outbackers lack that stuff. Once you factor out Brazil, the rest of South America gets to be nearly irrelevant outside the cities. Africa is different. However, the telephone system in Africa was mostly nonexistent. Now cellular telephone has leapfrogged Africa into being interconnected with the rest of the world without copper wire systems. Even the poor can buy cellular phones. As the price of PCs and satellite continue to drop, at least villages will be able to have PCs and satellite TV in community centers. So the only real use BBC and VOA have for SWBC remains outback Spanish-speaking South America, Africa and China. I can't speak for Asia, but China and India are headed in the same direction. Everything electronic is made in China and all kinds of services that require a good knowledge of English are moving to India and Pakistan. I guess China remains a prime SWBC target because they STILL don't carry VOA local-placement programs and they try to control the Internet. But the PRC Chinese middle class grows and grows and there's not a damned thing that the PRC government can do about the PRC Chinese middle class getting satellite access. So eventually, SWBC will get to become passé for PRC. I'm an AM/MW DXer till I die, and just twixt you and me, Pat, I'm an Internet hog. Satellite is going to kill MWBC once enough old, ignorant, undereducated, non-élite geezers like me decide to listen to [shudder] RUSH LIMBAUGH on satellite or DSL Internet. IBOC? Nice idea but already gone the way of the crystal radio. Technology leapfrogs over IBOC. When am I going to buy an IBOC AM or FM receiver? Never. I'll get DSL Internet or subscribe to the relevant satellite stuff B4 I buy one-a them-thar IBOC doodaddies. I think that's that hopeless TV-Martí. A TV station with no transmitter. TV-Martí goes out on satellite and is available to everyone except the target area. I'll bet TV-Martí on satellite is popular. But not in Cuba. As long as TV-Martí uses a flying balloon transmitter with a low power, it'll never count for dogpoop. Wait 'til Castro croaks! 73 de (Charlie Taylor, IRCA via DXLD) ** U S A [non].

Here at NERW, we like rumors and unsubstantiated message- board postings as much as the next radio column. But we've learned over the years to be suspicious of rumors planted by those with an axe to grind, which is why we've largely steered clear of much of the gossip surrounding Air America and WLIB (1190 New York). Whatever may, or may not, be happening with the relationship between the network and its New York flagship, which is leased from Inner City Broadcasting Corp., it won't be happening at the end of March, as the rumors had claimed. Last week, Air America put out a press release announcing that it had extended its lease with WLIB until August, and that "over the next several months, Air America and Inner City will seek to enhance and extend their long-term relationship." While the message-board crowd has been parsing that wording to death, the word we're getting is that both sides are serious about keeping Air America programming in place on 1190, and that we'll know more well before the current deal expires August 31. Stay tuned... On the public radio side of the fence, WNYC (820) has its signal back to normal after suffering transmission-line damage from a fire in the Meadowlands a week ago.

LOCAL RADIO STATIONS NOT PLAYING OUR SONG By Bob Caudle, The [which?] Morning News http://www.nwaonline.net/articles/2006/03/19/opinion/73opbcaudle.txt In case of inclement weather, head to the lowest level of your house with a long extension cord and your TV. Because local radio stations will tell you nothing. Oh, if you're lucky, one of them might be playing songs from "Gone With the Wind." It seems our "local" radio stations can't afford to staff the stations during the weekends. Ironically, the two biggest "local" radio stations are owned by Cumulus Broadcasting and Clear Channel Communications. One guesses that means they only operate during fairly good weather. A manager for Cumulus said the company's five FM stations and two AM stations have the ability to break into evening automated programming. But this happened on a Sunday. No word about breaking into weekend programming. Clear Channel, which owns four FM stations in the area, didn't return the newspaper's phone calls Wednesday. That's enough time for Clear Channel officials to have scampered out of their storm cellars and back to a phone line. Perhaps they could just send us clues over the airwaves ... play "Oklahoma." One doesn't really want to go to the storm cellar, click on the radio for weather information and hear Eddy Rabbit singing, "I Love a Rainy Night," while the roof is flying off one's house. How about just playing, "We're Only Here to Take Your Money, We Don't Care About Your Community." That would at least tell the truth. Let me make this clear: This is in no way to minimize the people who suffered property and physical damage to the tornados last weekend. It is, however, intended to unmercifully maximize the question of how, with all the technology available today, a commercial area the size of Northwest Arkansas can't get one person into a radio station to at least yell, "Take Cover." To complicate matters, the cable TV system's warning signal, designed to rollover to emergency broadcasting, didn't. Most of the towns in Northwest Arkansas are hooked to the same cable system. Many of the smaller communities, and some of the larger ones, had to rely on their residents hearing a siren over the wail of the wind. (They're still ahead of Springdale's storm warning system. We don't know a tornado's coming our way until we see a little girl in pigtails running past the house, yelling, "Toto, come back.") Of course, the area's TV stations will interrupt coverage if a rain drop hits Fort Smith. Why? Because all but one of them are based in Fort Smith. To their credit, all offered a warning of potential tornadoes on the ground last weekend in Northwest Arkansas. A couple of them were a little late on the draw, though. But let a raindrop hit a sidewalk in Fort Smith and our "weather teams" are Johnny on the spot. "We're here, live, where the raindrop hit. You can tell the exact spot it hit because the concrete is darker in this one area than the surrounding concrete." Then, they digress into something like the interviews on the Ray Stevens' song, "The Streak." "Excuse me sir, did you see what happened?" They'll flash a graphic underneath the guy, "Saw raindrop hit." "Yeah, I did. I wuz standin' over there, loosenin' my lugnuts, looked up and saw it comin'. I hollered over at Ethel, I said, 'Don't look, Ethel.' But it wuz too late. She'd already seen it splat." They'll go back to the raindrop on the sidewalk, then back to the eyewitness. "So, when you realized there was going to be a raindrop falling, did you take cover?" "Nah, I called the kids outside to watch it." "What did it sound like?" "It kinda sounded like a real, loud splat. You know, like a drop of water hittin' cement." As I say every springtime, it's not the size of your Doppler that counts -- it's how you use it (via Brock Whaley, DXLD) NOT EXACTLY YOUR LOCAL DJ That is the title of an interesting article by Joyzelle Davis in the Mile High Tech section of the Rocky Mountain News today. It is about Jones Radio located in the Denver suburb of Centennial. The article says that Jones syndicates DJ hosted programs delivered by satellite in 11 formats. They employee nearly 100 DJs and provide programming for 2,500 stations. The article talks about how the programs are carefully crafted to sound like local content and how they are very careful to not reveal to the audience that the programs do not originate locally. It says that most of their clients are in small to medium sized markets. I found it interesting that the stations do not pay for using the service. They only have to provide two minutes per hour in which Jones can insert commercials sold through their New York based advertising sales firm. That makes the service affordable for even the smallest stations. Jones started this service in 1989. Hoover's lists Jones Radio's 2005 sales at $56.8 million. An interesting side note is that Jones' studios are located a short distance from one of the largest live concert venues in the Denver area. Big name artists often stop by the studios to be interviewed on the air since Jones provides a nationwide outlet to a large audience. This can cause problems on a local level since listeners think that the big name personality is actually at their local radio station. The article says that sometimes the local radio stations are swamped by fans hoping to see one of their favorite stars as they leave the studio (Patrick Griffith, Westminster, CO http://community.webtv.net/N0NNK/ http://community.webtv.net/AM-DXer/ IRCA via DXLD) ** U S A.

Just as many people have opted to drop their wired house phone for a cellular unit, I suspect even DSL and cable internet will gradually be supplanted by wireless. My formerly-wired office number is now on my cell phone. I don't regret that for an instant. At some point, portable access to streaming content will be available to a very large segment of the population. Why would someone listen to an AM or even FM signal when a clear quality stream has the same content? I hear rumblings that Apple is deep into creation of a WiFi- enabled iPod. Take the WiPod, connect to a stream, and you can listen anywhere. When a significant portion of the country is served by WiFi, or whatever the next couple generations up is called, transmitters simply won't have a lot of value. HD Radio is limited to a couple of different content streams and a slowish bit rate. Internet streaming is limited only by the imagination of the programmer. All this will be driven by the need/desire for email and web access. Audio streaming will simply tag along for the ride. But it will be there! (Craig Healy, Providence, RI, IRCA via DXLD) I think the answer to that question right now would be local content - whether that's news, weather, sports, talk or entertainment. I see no reason why that same content couldn't someday also tag along - in fact a lot of the larger all-news stations ( who don't have to worry about artist royalties etc. ) are broadcasting on the web, so that's just a matter of waiting for more available and generalized WiFi. I know there are lots of places I go where there are still no WiFi signals to be found when I scan - mostly just some hotels and of course coffee shops (Russ Edmunds, Blue Bell, PA ( 360' ASL ), ibid.) The same local content will be available on the stream. One of my clients does exactly that in several different flavors of stream. Complete with the local weather and news. From what I have read, there's an initiative to have the whole state of RI covered with WiFi or greater access. And at this moment, anyone in RI and most of SE MA can get the Verizon or Sprint mobile wireless. It's here right now. I could buy a PCMIA wireless access card, plug it inot my laptop and route that audio out into my truck radio auxiliary input. Now (Craig Healy, RI, ibid.) Right. In the case of Sprint, for $15/month, you can get unlimited broadband (600-700 kbps average) access for a cell phone. Even if you don't like the streaming audio services that are included in the Power Vision bundle, you still can listening to streams from many other radio stations simply by visiting their Web sites via the phone's browser and seeing whether they offer a stream that works with your phone's media player. Granted, most people probably wouldn't buy a phone and plan just for streaming radio on the go. But if you already have the hardware and service for other reasons, it's nice icing on the cake (Tim Kridel, ibid.) DIGITAL BROADCASTING ++++++++++++++++++++ MARTIN: FCC TO ACT SOON ON IBOC Sigh...

DRM IN OZ Just before the end of last year, I sold all my existing receivers to get the WinRadio G303i - this is one hell of a good receiver, but more about that at another time. As a bonus it is DRM ready, needing only to purchase some decoding software from Merlin for ~$70. Because DRM transmissions are such low power, and most originate in Europe for Europe, they are not all that easy to pick up here. Hopefully this will change when RNZI finally starts up. I have only been able to pick up 2 transmissions reliably - 1) 7240 KHz Radio Nederland (40 W power!) 0700-0800 UT 2) 7265 KHz DW (200 W) 0630-0730 UT. There are easily found DRM schedules on the internet which list many more transmissions, but they are either at times I haven't listened or are at times when propagation is bad. If you put "NZ DRM" into your search engine, you should get onto a website of a NZ guy who lists transmissions that he has received. That is how I got on to my frequencies. Once you latch onto a good DRM transmission, the quality is superb - CD quality - no noise whatsoever. But the downside is that if the signal strength is not high enough, audio dropouts occur and you get nothing. But I find that in practice this is not as bad a listening to a faint noisy signal on an AM transmission. The DRM signal does occupy a bit of bandwidth though - on the G303i's signal scope you see a square wave frequency display extending +/- 6 kHz either side of the centre frequency.
