Hello SWLs, 
 
         Here is news of digital short wave transmissions organised by the 
NASB, by courtesy of Wolfgang, DF5SX...... 
 
------- 
 
Monday, 19 July 2004 
 
         Washington,   D.C.   based  National  Association  of  Short-wave 
Broadcasters (NASB), are to commence DRM txions to North America  starting 
on Saturday, July 24. 
 
         The  NASB  programming  will  be  sent  from  the  Sackville, New 
Brunswick, tx site of DRM member Radio Canada International/CBC, and  will 
reach  the  Eastern  U.S.  and Canada. The NASB's members are 19 privately 
owned, U.S. licensed, short-wave radio  stations.  Its  associate  members 
include non-U.S. licensed broadcasters, manufacturers and others. 
 
         DRM broadcasts of the following DRM members are also available in 
North America: BBC World Service; Deutsche Welle; RCI; Radio  Netherlands; 
Swedish Radio International; and Radio Vaticana. DRM txions of China Radio 
International, Radio Kuwait and TDP Radio (a commercial, dance mix station 
from Belgium) also reach North America.

         NASB will transmit the programme Voice of the NASB via short-wave 
to North America on Saturdays, starting at 17:00 UTC, at 11900 kHz.  Voice 
of the NASB is a half-hour variety series jointly produced by various NASB 
members and associate members. It comprises documentaries, travel reports, 
mailbag programmes, religious dramas, mx, and station profiles. 
 
         NASB  has  been  sending  DRM txions to Europe since 2003 via the 
Rampisham, England, tx site of VT Communications. 
 
         "The  success  of  our  DRM   broadcasts   to   Europe   via   VT 
Communications   has   proven  to  us  beyond  any  doubt  the  tremendous 
capabilities of DRM to transmit programmes with FM mono quality  and  with 
no  fading,  static  or  interference,"  said  Jeff  White,  outgoing NASB 
President and Producer of Voice of the NASB. 
         "We  now  look  toward our home turf of North America, and we are 
delighted to bring DRM programmes to listeners in the U.S. and  Canada  in 
the coming months with the help of CBC." 
 
         "The NASB broadcasts are a great addition to the growing range of 
DRM content available in North America," says DRM Chairman  Peter  Senger. 
"We  applaud  NASB's participation, and we invite broadcasters from around 
the world to join in providing radio listeners with DRM's  superb  clarity 
and excellent reception." 
 
         DRM    is   the   world's   only   non-proprietary,   universally 
ndardized,  digital  on-air  system  for  medium-wave,  short-wave  and 
long-wave.  DRM  gives  broadcasters  the  capability  to  enhance  new or 
existing  audio  programmes  with  complementary  text  DRM  also  enables 
broadcasters  to  wrap  speech in multiple languages around a single music 
stream, extending the reach of existing audio content.
