[POLAND non] DRM: The UniWave Di-Wave 100 DRM Receiver was reviewed very
well in Popular Communications June 2010. It is no more: the manufacturer
is gone.
I hate DRM, but want to help the Polish Radio Hebrew Service. So I was
thinking of buying this DRM receiver, because I was told the Hebrew
Service next season will be back on 6085 kHz where it was jammed, and WRTH
informed us there is 'domestic' DRM there. So I wanted to hear that DRM.
Polish Radio is served by the VT Group and they intend to solve the
problem by using 500 kilowatts.
[Later:] About the frequency to be used by Polish Radio Hebrew Service in
the coming winter 1900-1930 UT. Transmitters and frequencies are the
responsibility of VT Group. Last winter the result was very bad. The
frequency was 6085 kHz and it was jammed out all season long. WRTH
informed me a station in Germany was broadcasting DRM domestic channel.
How do you broadcast DRM domestic?
The head of Hebrew at Polish Radio is Michael Hermon and his job is only
to prepare programs, but he wants people to be able to hear these programs
on short wave. He does not want to use 6085 kHz again and 7265 kHz was
suggested. I monitored it recently. My S-meter was very high. There is a
co-channel station. There is a lot of noise and there are strong stations
on 7260 and 7270 kHz. At 1930 UT China Radio International signs on with a
very strong signal. SIO is 533 or 523 with voices interference and this is
not good enough for me to listen to it for a whole half hour every day.
Should VT Group broadcast Polish Radio Hebrew with 300 kilowatts on 7265
kHz, they will murder the two adjacent frequency stations and commit
suicide themselves? They won't do this because frequency managers are
gentlemen. I suggested that 7505 kHz should be used. This is the frequency
of WRNO. The 41 meter band needs to be enlarged and the way to do this is
to use slightly out of band frequencies. This is the way the broadcast
bands have been enlarged, when the frequencies were not being used by
utilities: in time the illegal frequencies became legal. It is also the
only way to give me good reception, and 100 kilowatts will do.
