In conjunction with the HFCC/ASBU B09 Coordination Conference in Punta Cana,Dominican Republic, several special shortwave transmissions are planned.
Radio Netherlands' relay station in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles will carryout special DRM transmissions on 9710 kHz on Thursday and Friday, August 20and 21, between 1700-2100 UTC. This transmission will use 120 kW DRM at 350degrees on a HR 1/1/0.5 antenna.
From Santiago, Chile, CVC La Voz will carry out a special DRM transmissionon Friday, August 21 from 1700-2200 UTC on 17640 kHz. The antenna will bedirected to Mexico, but should provide good coverage of the DominicanRepublic as well.
We are waiting on details of special DRM transmissions from TDF inMontsinery, French Guiana; CBC in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada; and oneother possible location.
We are also planning to conduct special tropical band transmissions from theconference in conjunction with the inauguration of a new radio station inthe Dominican Republic. The Dominican Telecommunications Institute, INDOTEL,has authorized provisional transmissions by Radio Discovery (RadioDescubrimiento in Spanish) from the Dreams Punta Cana Resort on the eastcoast of the Dominican Republic with low power (100 watts) on the frequencyof 4730 kHz in a combination of three different modes: standard AM amplitudemodulated, single sideband (SSB), and WinDRM, which is a form of DRMtransmission used by amateur radio operators. In order to decode the WinDRMtransmissions, a listener must connect his receiver audio output to acomputer with the WinDRM software installed. WinDRM can be downloaded free of charge at <http://n1su.com/windrm/download.html>
