DRM from Sackville Clear as a Bell
DRM transmissions from Sackville NB, Canada on 9.800MHz, had no drops today.
Starting with Deutsche Welle (Germany) on to Radio Sweden's 60-degrees
North, finally followed by BBC World Service. In addition, DRM from Radio
Kuwait on 11.675MHz was very readable with quite a few drops. The quality of
audio of the DRM transmissions was excellent. Musical pieces were as though
they were coming from a local source. No static crashes, no fading, just
clean sounds.
I use both the Dream software as well as the Merlin DRM decoders. This isn't
conclusive but I believe the Dream software has less drops than the Merlin
software, and it's free.
I'm hoping for more stations using DRM transmission modes. It makes SWLing a
pleasure.
