I believe that DRM has similar qualities to your AM HD system - IBOC as its known - however DRM is an open standard where as IBOC requires a license to use it. AusieRadio is a new shortwave service formed to cover Australia - in particular the Outback - to replace the ABC Shortwave domestic service which was switched off last year. If you want to try and receive AusieRadio then try either 4835 or 5045KHZ
