Gerhard Straub reports in DXLD that IBB engineering and the HCJB Global Technology Center have teamed up for some DRM demonstration and test broadcasts from the IBB site in North America. Broadcasts officially begin on August 10. Transmissions may be on this week for internal testing purposes. The initial schedule is:

0000-0400 UTC 9405 kHz aimed 45 degrees with a log periodic antenna
2000-2200 UTC 15475 kHz aimed 306 degrees with a rhombic antenna

Modes, times, and frequencies are subject to change for test purposes.
Reception reports are welcome and may be sent to drm @ voanews.com (note that emails with large files (>3MB) are automatically deleted by the system).
Alokesh Gupta adds :
Greenville, North Carolina is the txer location & they are using a HCJB-designed exciter for these tests.
