AIR plans live broadcast of Commonwealth Games in DRM mode

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 02:01 AM PST

India is committed to the planned roll-out of a DRM digital transmitter network and this was emphasized by top government officials in New Delhi last week. The Indian Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ambika Soni said the country needs good radio connectivity for millions of Indians living in rural and far-flung areas and technology should be made accessible to them. In a meeting with DRM Chairperson Ruxandra Obreja and Project Director Vineeta Dwivedi in the Indian capital, Ms Soni stressed the need for affordable DRM receivers for quick and efficient take-up of the technology. While India is preparing to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games, DRM can become a good tool to start new digital broadcasts for national and international audiences. All India Radio (AIR) plans to have seven and a half hours of daily live broadcasts of the Games. Senior officials of the national broadcaster confirmed that they are
now firming up plans for Commonwealth broadcasting and DRM will have a role to play. Currently, AIR has a regular DRM service of 8 hours of daily DRM SW broadcast.

IRRS-Shortwave evening CET frequency change

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 01:53 AM PST

Hi all, Please notice that we will have an immediate frequency change for our evening CET slot each Fri, Sat & Sun effective Nov. 13, 2009. We are dropping temporarily 7290 kHz in favour of what may be a cleaner frequency. Don't forget that lower frequency bands that allow for propagation within 1-4,000 km during darkness are extremely congested here in EU due to the low sunspots, so many stations are fighting on top of each other :-(

All other times and frequencies remains unchanged. So please take a note that as of Friday Nov 13, 2009 we will be on 6170 kHz from 1900-2100 UTC/GMT (Fri, Sat & Sun) and tune into our programs. Please send your reception reports by email to: reports (at) nexus (dot) org

Although we cannot guarantee a QSL to each of you, we will reply to everyone by email, and we will greatly appreciate hearing that "there is someone listening out-there" on our new frequency next week-end. Updated frequency and program schedules are on our web site at:

Thanks, take care and best 73s,
