NASB begins joint broadcasts in digital and analogue modes
Jeff White sent me an extensive press release, from which I have extracted the following salient paragraphs:
On October 26, 2003, the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters (NASB) in the United States will begin a 23-week series of special joint broadcasts produced by the organization’s member and associate member stations. This is the first time in the NASB’s history that is has produced joint broadcasts by its members. And equally important, this series of broadcasts will be transmitted in the DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) mode, as well as in traditional analogue form.
The broadcasts, titled "Voice of the NASB," will be transmitted in the DRM mode each Sunday at 1330-1400 UTC on 9785 kHz, beamed primarily to Europe from the facilities of VT Merlin Communications in Rampisham, England. Each program will also be broadcast on UTC Sunday at 0330-0400 on 7385 kHz, primarily to North America via WRMI in Miami, Florida. The broadcasts will run from Oct. 26, 2003 through March 28, 2004. A special NASB QSL card will be issued for reception reports on these transmissions, both digital and analog. Reports should be sent to the Voice of the NASB, P.O. Box 526852, Miami, Florida 33152 USA.
Listeners in North America should note that the analogue broadcast of the Voice of the NASB will be on local Saturday nights, although it is 0330 UTC Sunday. This transmission on 7385 kHz will preempt WRMI’s regular program "Viva Miami" during the B03 transmission period from Oct. 26, 2003 through the end of March, 2004.
