I was very surprised to once again hear VoRussia today (Oct.9) on 21790 at
0830 during their English service to the Pacific, listed Irkutsk via 150
degrees. At one period between 0830 and sign off at 0900 the signal
reached S9 on my meter. Not bad if that was off the "back" of their
antenna. There was no trace of Dushanbe 17495 or the more distant
Komsomolsk na Amure 17635. Chinese multi-echo jamming plus Firedrake was
also loudly audible on 21705, but I couldn't positively hear VOA via UDO.
When Spain and Saudi Arabia opened up on 21 MHZ at 0900 their signals were
very poorly heard by comparison.

RUSSIA News release from the DRM Consortium:
Bonn, Germany - The digital technology "DRM" is the topic of conversation
at the first international DRM Symposium in Russia which takes place from
9th to 12th of October in Moscow at the President Hotel. The symposium is
being held by both DRM members RTRN -The Voice of Russia and Deutsche
Welle with the participation of the DRM Consortium and the support of
Radio Rossi, Radioagency-M, TRC EFIR, DRM supporter NREC and the DRM
members Thomson Broadcast & Multimedia, TRANSRADIO SenderSysteme GmbH, and
T-Systems Media & Broadcast.
More than 150 attendees from all over the world are expected including
prominent international VIP's. The attendees' high level of expertise is
reflected in the calibre of the topics that will be discussed during the
symposium. These range from technical aspects concerning DRM broadcasts to
DRM commercial strategy with DRM receivers. The symposium presents a
complete insight into DRM and its concept of implementation in Russia.
The digital broadcasting system for long-, medium and short-wave offers a
dramatic improvement over the crackle and pop of analogue AM. Besides
providing a near FM quality sound, the DRM system gives the option to
integrate data and text. Two DRM special frequencies for the symposium
will be are broadcast. One is from Germany/ Wertachtal T-Systems, from the
9th until the 12th of October at 09:00-10:00 UTC on 15.645 kHz, DW English

12th of October at 09:00 - 10:00 UTC on 15.480 kHz, DW English Service.
The DRM consortium welcomes the first DRM symposium in Russia as an
important step in the national development of DRM in Russia and all over
the world. The DRM Consortium Chairman, Peter Senger, stated that "the
first international DRM symposium in Russia is a good opportunity for
assisting Russia to take a decision for DRM implementation
