From a news item at www.arrl.org:

On Monday, October 20, the ARRL filed a Petition for Modification or
Cancellation of Experimental Authorization (Petition) with the FCC
with respect to WE2XRH. According to the FCC, this experimental
license -- issued to Digital Aurora Radio Technologies (DART) --
proposes to "test digital transmissions in 4.50-5.10 MHz, 7.10-7.60
MHz and 9.25-9.95 MHz for a terrestrial digital radio service to the
citizens of Alaska."

According to the web search of DART, this is a DRM operational test for
two years with 100kW transmitter output and 660 kW ERP.

Has the FCC lost their senses again? Or did they get a big kick back?
How could they possibly issue an experimental license for this disaster
waiting to happen. Doesn't the FCC have any engineers there anymore? I
guess they don't care about WWV at 5 MHz or the rest of the spectrum
they will destroy..

Or the 31 and 60 meter shortwave bands. The ARRL is only interested in the
damage to 40 meters.

100 kw?

The FCC is nothing these days but a bunch of Bush appointed airheads who
care only about trying to auction off as much bandwidth as possible.

This is a DOD project. Good luck at the FCC.

"Why don't you use DRM on Shortwave?"

"Some large companies are pushing DRM by convincing program producers
and broadcasters to start airing in DRM ahead of time, but unless
there is mass availability and penetration of receivers on the
listeners side, this will remain - unfortunately - a technological
experiment, and broadcasters using it to reach their listeners now,
are clearly throwing their money out of the window."

LOL! Hopefully, Obama will get rid of the criminal FCC commissioners.
