*very* interesting, Ruud - do you do any listening using
DRM yourself? I wonder how well DRM holds up
when propagation conditions are changing, or perhaps
during severe thunderstorms?

No, I dont have a DRM receiver, and I am not intending in getting one.
Now on DRM is 1296 "AM" with BBC world, copying 648 in analogue.
Since BBC W programme's are mostly speech based and the 648 TX sounds
excellent I really cant see the need for going to the shop for DRM
(Which is not there).
