All India Radio (AIR) already has a daily DRM SW broadcast from its
transmitter in Khampur, Delhi. They air three hours of local transmission
within India from 1430-1730 IST on 6100 kHz.
AIR recently placed a contract for 2 MW medium wave transmitters to BECIL
(Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited). BECIL and Thomson were
awarded to supply these high-power medium wave transmitters including
auxiliaries, commissioning and testing. The new transmitters will replace
old existing transmitters near Kolkata and Rajkot. Both transmitters are
equipped with DRM and can operate on analogue, on simulcast or on full
power digital with automatic change over between the 3 operation modes.
Special demos of DRM30 (meant for converting SW, MW, AM broadcasts) and
DRM+ (meant for converting FM Bands I and II) will be held on the
sidelines of the conference. RAC participants will be able to hear these
transmissions as well as learn more about DRM and its potential at various
sessions and also during the specialised DRM workshop scheduled for
February 22nd a.m.
"We are delighted that the BBC and CVC will be transmitting these special
programmes for Radio Asia," ABU Secretary-General, David Astley said. "It
will enable delegates who may not be so familiar with DRM to hear firsthand
the improvement in sound quality that the technology provides."
DRM is also the principal sponsor of Radio Asia 2010 and DRM Consortium
Chair, Ruxandra Obreja, expressed hope that it will be a great success,
"Radio Asia is being held in India for the first time and is already
shaping as a significant radio event with industry representatives having
committed to attend. This will be a great occasion to showcase the
tremendous potential of DRM and how it can change the future of radio
broadcasting for good. We extend our thanks to broadcasters who are
putting in the special DRM transmissions for this event and making it even
more useful for the participants."
