DRM Shortwave Radio - Has It Died ! ~ RHF
{ And Does Anyone Really Care ? }


I personally find it astounding that anyone believes that DRM will do
anything to help commercial HF broadcasting. It has no appeal for
those, like me, who'd rather not see the HF bands destroyed. Nor will
DRM appeal to the millions of "average Joe" consumers who'll view it as
a perverse twist on an already puzzling medium.

DRM consortium says: "Take advantage of the world's only, open standard
digital radio system for short-wave, AM/medium-wave and long-wave."

Consumers hear: "Come buy this special receiver that will allow you to
hear all of those broadcasts that don't interest you--with digital
quality audio!!"

Nevermind the dropped signals, of course.

My prediction: DRM won't be around long enough to ruin HF.
