"The BBC World
Service (pr), has announced it will be among the first
in the world to broadcast digitally over shortwave radio. They will use a
standard called Digital Radio
Mondiale (Wikipedia), which covers the international broadcasting bands
below 30 MHz. DRM is a new digital radio standard, specifically
designed for use the narrow and noisy short wave, medium wave and long wave
radio bands. ..." Link: dailywireless.org. I first got interested in radio in 1959-60 by listening to shortwave broadcasters on my mom's Coronado console radio (with magic-eye tuning), and still do on occasion. The U.S. standard is not the only IBOC standard out there and DRM is coming on strong in Europe for MW and SW applications. --Dennis
