Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 18-21

For international broadcasting in general, probably not. I personally have
always thought it was a good idea that came a decade too late. The refusal
of the main commercial receiver manufacturers to commit to full-scale
production of DRM receivers means that it has not had the chance to reach
the vast majority of potential users. Now many international broadcasters
are re-focusing on TV rather than radio, so within these organisations DRM
has a fairly low priority.

However, certain countries such as India seem committed to DRM, so it may
prove to be a useful technology for a limited number of markets. Radio New
Zealand International uses it primarily to feed a better quality signal to
its partner stations in the Pacific, without the expense of satellite
distribution.

And, of course, since I work for Radio Netherlands International, I must add
the disclaimer that these are my own opinions, not necessarily those of my
employer :-)

Hi Andy,
       Do you feel that DRM has a future in shortwave radio?
