d'Eduardo,

So they would be using the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)
Signal as a intra-continental Domestic Broadcast System
with a Range out to 900~1200 Miles.

Much like the Tropical Bands {5 MHz and below} are used
for Domestic Shortwave Radio Broadcasting to serve Nations
like : Russia, China, Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, India, etc.

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) can work within {intra} Europe,
Russia, China, India, Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, Alaska,
Canada, Large Nations requiring a Nation-Wide Domestic
Broadcast System covering the Rual and Remote Areas;
where the Local AM and FM Radio Stations can not get.

Question - Is there a Place for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)
in the Scheme-of-Things for the USA . . . only time will tell.

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Welcomes Go-Ahead for
“Tropical Band” DRM Broadcasts

Again for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) to be 'effective' the
Band Plan for any and all Tropical {Domestic} and Shortwave
{International} has to be Redefined from 5~10kHz Channel
Spacing to 20~25 kHz to Reduce the Potential for Adjacent
Channel Interference.

Since these would be 'fixed' {un-changing} Domestic Broadcast
Frequencies that should in the long term not represent a
problem for the In-Country National Broadcasters; provided
that approprite Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Power Levels
are used along with the properly 'configured' Antenna System
to cover their Nation within it's Borders.

The Tropical Bands and National {Domestic} Broadcastion
is about servive the Needs of the Radio Listeners within a
Country consistant with their National need for the Distribution
of Information -translation- DXer's Be Damned.

On-the-Plus-Side - The State of Alaska has enough Money
from Oil Revenues to Buy Every Citizen and Household a
new All Alaska AM/FM/DRM Radio to "Make-the-System"
HAPPEN !
