Now amigos, another of the answers to the DRM poll that came from a long
time listener in the USA... And before reading it, let me add that due to
the great impact that this topic has had, I will be continuing to review
it on our upcoming mid week edition, where I will also repeat the DRM
poll's questions for those of you that have now become interested in this
controversial topic...
Amigo Randall, from the USA, a long time listener wrote and says: Dear

analog signals that otherwise could be well heard by listeners.
DRM transmissions MUST be entered at the ITU as experimental, and they
MUST be moved away from the internationally assigned short wave broadcast
bands until the DRM or other new technology that is better are fully
compatible with existing 10 kiloHertz wide analog A3 Double Side band plus
carrier broadcast transmissions.
More about DRM and your opinions that are reaching me here from all over
the world in upcoming editions of Dxers Unlimited, and if you want to send
