With the improved short wave conditions I seem to notice more DRM

covering three channels.

I have heard a lot of noise on 49m these last few days. Can you offer
an example of a frequency that has specific DRM traffic on it?

My little radio is not so good at DXing, and I'm close to the Sackville
relay. As a result I tend to listen to these strong signals. They have
been booming in the last few nights.

Had an amusing moment with Havana Cuba complaining about the Bush
"propaganda machine."

Propaganda RHC may be, but many other stations I've been listening to
are as guilty of stretching the limits of my credulity. Some of these
stations are on distant WM and local television too, so draw your own
conclusions.

Every country has it's own propaganda machine. The U.S. is no
different, nor should we expect it to be. The content is often
different depending on the audience (i.e., global or domestic.) Even
the VOA has (had?) a mandate to broadcast official American propaganda
around the world. It's dangerous to listen to anything on RHC _or_ VOA
without a critical ear.

Anyway, the music is better on RHC.

I used to listen to RHC for the music but that has been a while.

Sorry, I didn't note the specific frequencies the DRM signals were on
but I was getting bugged by them on the 31, 25, 19 and 16 meter bands as
I was scanning them.
