Will these tx’s be DRM or analogue AM shortwave? Not everybody has DRM radios.

All our transmissions are in AM unless specifically stated otherwise.

That’s a good decision RNW.
As we al know nobody has DRM, many have analogue, and even 5 Euro SW radioos (not recommended by RNW) wiil pick up the RNW signal.
Too bad the BBC does DRM noise on 1296 during the evening preventing RNW for using this channel for analogue coverage in Europe, AM is available on almost every radio-receiver near you.
(I still feel that analogue AM is good enough for speach. I know people who listen almost all day to their phone in a lesser quality, did anybody ever complain on the sound-qulaity of a telephone demanding FM quality)

He, ik heb wel een DRM radio, en kan ik er wat aan doen dat jij een radio met techniek uit 1960 gebruikt.
Geintje natuurlijk, maar je moet het ook niet omdraaien.
