Dane, do I understand rightly the D.A.B Plus station transmits a normal a.m signal on the mf band and superimposes the d.a.b therefore a normal a.m set will hear no signifficant difference, apart from the bandwidth being somewhat greater? What frequency was the d.a.b plus signal on? What happens when a signifficant distance from the source? On normal a.m it decreases in level during day and tends to fade at night, I wonder if d.a.b plus skips as does a.m and what it sounds like?
I believe it is a great pity we went for the antequated system we have, as it seems to me d.a.b plus has a good deal going for it. I did hear a d.a.b plus signal back in 2004 when visiting New York, think the station was on 770kHz or thereabouts, it was a.m during darkness but had the d.a.b plus in the day. I noticed the signal was noticeably wider and had greater bleed-over, but I was only listening on a standard a.m-type receiver. The Fareham area of Southern England has been Colin Howard's home ever since July 1981, only the Lord himself knows for how much longer this will remain true.
