from Thales arrived on Jan 09. Installation is expected to be over by
early next week and test transmissions expected by next week. According to
sources this will be Thales Skywave 2000 system which has been designed to
enable existing AM radio broadcasting transmitter equipment to create,
transmit, receive and analyze digital signals. As the AIR officials also
admit the success of DRM depends on the availability of DRM capable radios
in India at an affordable price. Hope this does not meets the fate of DAB
which was tested by AIR R&D since last 6 years, being demonstrated in the
broadcast exhibitions year after year but was never launched. Last time
when I was at AIR headquarters, officials were talking about big plans to
rollout DRM in phased way in India.

Dort ganz in der Naehe, ein paar Kilometer oestlich, aber auch noch
suedlich der Autobahnumfahrung, hab' ich noch im herbst 2003 eine weitere
Antennenfarm gesehen, dazu habe ich was in einer 1977er ITU-Liste
gefunden:
