I am Internet Coordinator for our station owner, Family Stations, Inc.,
who operate WYFR. I also oversee the technical (networking) part of
streaming audio for DTH satellite uplinked in Europe by WRN, as well as
distribution by VT Merlin to SW transmitters in various places. Apart from
that I am only peripherally involved with WYFR or other Family Radio short
wave broadcasts.
FYI, there have been some preliminary discussions about adding DRM to WYFR
at Okeechobee to cover, um, Canada and Mexico. We all just happen to be in
the path, right?
Around the office, we're talking about applying for some kind of
experimental license in the 26 MHz band to try out some low power DRM
around the San Francisco area. Just talk so far, though.

I will offer a thought. CRI audio is about the worst "feed" in quality on
DRM. I am fairly certain this is not just on DRM as they sound about the
same per my times with them on analogue (overdriven and distorted).
Kuwait's audio due to bitrate is the worst I've heard on DRM, but it is
unclear how bad the feed is. CRI's bitrate settings however seem to have
very few artifacts, considering they are using a 16/16, 14k format.
I'm quite impressed overall with the 14k setting being used. All of this
