Vielleicht bleibt es bei der Absicht?
Print-Ausgabe-Popular Communications /August 08

Digital Aurora Radio Technologies of Delta Junction, Alaska, has applied to 
the FCC for authorization to experiment with statewide DRM in the 5, 7 and 9 
MHz shortwave bands. The FCC has assigned the callsign WE2XRH to this 
station, but its license is pending (Frei uebersetzt "Alles noch in 
Schwebe"?). Delta Junction is approximately 130 miles souteast of Fairbanks.

"The ultimate goal of this projekt is to provide a terrestrial digital radio 
service to the citizens of Alaska," the company said.[..]

A unique element of the proposed station is its use of goverment surplus 
over-the-horizon(OTH) radar transmitters. Tests by the OTH system 
masnufacturer, Continental Electronics, demonstrated the capability of the 
transmitter to broadcast DRM with"excellent performance characteristics" and 
*within the spectral mask* recommended by the ITU for this mode.

73,
Paul
