New DRM station

A new digital shortwave station 'The Disco Palace' has started broadcasting in stereo to Europe and North America using the new DRM transmission standard.

The transmitter is located in South America at Montsinery, near the European Space Agency Kourou launch site.

The station will be broadcasting to Europe on 6015 kHz each day from 1400-1500 UTC. The North American transmission takes place from 2000 to 2100 UTC on 17755 kHz.

DRM is the global open digital broadcasting system for broadcasting bands upto 174 MHz (covering LW, SW, MW and bands I/II). It offers near-FM sound quality plus the ease-of-use that comes from digital transmissions, combined with low power consumption.
