A very good music program in Portuguese broadcast using DRM (Mode B) from Parque do Rodeador, Braslia, Brasil. Heard via SDR in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. Nearby AM signal was causing some dropouts. Adjusting receive frequency up 0.12 kHz seemed to help. SINPO 54555

A personal favorite of mine, Chinese music via AM. This program was destined to the Polish-speaking community of Europe although heard very well in Mardshegy, Hungary. There did seem to be some sort of TTY signal near the carrier that caused some interference but did not take away from the overall experience. SINPO 54555

2021-01-05 – 17:00 – Radio New Zealand Pacific – 9780kHz DRM
Supposed to be DRM to the Pacific Islands but I’m not getting a full lock on the signal using any of the SDRs on the New Zealand island. Signal looks strong with no adjacent signals. Did hear a blip of audio at the top second.

Music and Apollo 13 BBC story. Finally found the audio! No joy using SDR in Brisbane (no signal at all) but a great signal in Hawaii (AI6VN/KH6 using 75m Beverage antenna). DRM Mode B. Really enjoy the text being sent along with the audio:

Traditional Chinese music. Another day of great traditional music (with Polish introductions). Tried a receiver in Poland but transmission is noisy there. Signal is very clear in Fuzesabony, Hungary. SINPO 55555.

49m band is quite crowded at his hour. Seeing 6010, 6020, and 6030 all in use simultaneously (including a DRM signal!). All signals seem to be clean and no problem with selectivity on the receiver.

French program. Tried a receiver in Hungary but SNR is too low. Showing 17.7dB in Buchen, Germany (DM7RM). SINPO 55555.

I’m really starting to like this music program beamed to Europe from China. Traditional Chinese music with very good signals. Receiver used today was a KiwiSDR in Maroshegy, Hungary. SINPO 44544.
