Personally Istill wonder if the smaller broadcasters such as Radio 
Romania, Voice of Turkey et al will follow suit and go to DRM; I sort of 
doubt it, and then we have the dilemna of DRM from large broadcasters 
doing a number on the stations still on analog. (Still imagine if 
Sackville goes digital and relays such as Radio Sweden on 6010 which 
blast innow  goes  to DRM- what a beautiful thought that is!)
Something I keep forgetting to ask, can a station run less poweron DRM  
than needed now on analog to reach a target area?
