That is interesting. I would be interested in knowing what
frequencies are used as some of them could, at times make it to
North America but it would be very rare.
For anybody else reading, the DRM Dane is speaking about
is not Digital Right Management although one might be able to
include that in the protocol. It is Digital Radio Mundial which
was a name coined that would work in many different languages.
It is a method of digital audio encoding that makes short wave
sound like a high-quality AM or maybe even a FM broadcast
station. None of that selective fading and static crashes that
give short wave its characteristic sounds as we know them.
There's even DRM for amateur radio though I don't know
any more than that.
I've heard some demo recordings from DRM and they sound
wonderful until a deep fade comes along and then it is just dead
silence like all digital media. In other words, it's really good
until it shuts off.
