Yes, there are some DRM broadcasts to listen to. I suggest you
Lact fast, though, and if you buy a receiver get one that performs
well with ordinary shortwave broadcasts, since that's what you'll be listening to after DRM disappears.

Yes, this may be true . . Fuel costs are making basic Shortwave
broadcasting expensive;
adding fancy new transmitters to the Budget probably isn't in the
caards for many..

UNLESS.. people adopt the WBCQ Model of Wind generated
electricity for Transmitters . . ..
