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.
For the latest DRM Live Broadcasts Schedule, visit www.drm.org.
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.
