"Death of Digital Radio Mondiale in 2008 as well?"

"From both formal and informal discussions among participants at the
HFCC, it is now clear that the proposed DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale)
system, that would have converted analogue Shortwave to digital, FM
like quality reception would hardly be implemented if ever on a large
scale, beyond the current experimental stage."

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

"DRM is the acronym of Digital Radio Mondiale, a new technology
intended to offer digital, almost FM, quality to Shortwave, Long Wave
and Medium Wave (AM) broadcasts. Unfortunately DRM is incompatible
with ordinary Shortwave radios and requires buying new receivers, that
are not currently available in mass production, or at a cost that is
anywhere close to a conventional, analogue Shortwave receiver... 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."

Yeah, I heard about their closing on my local news. Sad. I remember
fondly reading their paper for three days when I was trapped out
there. ;-)
