RTÉ starts DRM tests on longwave 252 kHz

RTÉ is now carrying out DRM test transmissions on long waves on 252 kHz. These transmissions can be heard over much of the United Kingdom.

Enda O’Kane writes: “DRM will be carried on RTÉ’s longwave 252 kHz transmitter. Nightly commencing 08/08/07 until 15/08/07 from 0100 to 0700 UTC.

In addition to above :

Mon August 13th commencing 2100 ending 0800 on Tues Aug 14th.
Tues August 14th commencing 1400 ending 1400 Wed Aug 15th

These tests are to gauge public reaction to this technology and RTÉ regrets any inconvenience to listeners.

After these tests RTÉ will review the results. It is important to stress that RTÉ has, as yet, no plans for a DRM launch.
