These tests are initiated by TDF as part of our DRMCast project. DRMCast is an OC receiver that we have developed on our own funds which makes it possible to locally rebroadcast DRM content over wifi. Through this gateway-type interface, any smartphone or tablet-type receiver is thus capable of receiving sound, text and images broadcast in DRM. The first tests were carried out on the minitransat in 2019 with a race report for boats crossing the Atlantic. We are not far enough advanced to date to address Vend?e Globle type races, but the Maritime world is a track that we are considering for DRMCast. For the time being, we have 4 30-minute broadcasting slots with RFi world programs and some associated data: 13: 00-13:30 11735 15: 00-15:30 9905 17: 30-18:00 9905 23: 30-00:00 5875 These slots are likely to change in the days / weeks to come. These are tests to continue our development, we are not communicating at the moment. - - - - Bonjour, Nous r?alisons depuis le 1er janvier de nouveaux tests en DRM depuis notre centre de diffusion d?Issoudun. Ces tests sont ? l?initiative de TDF dans le cadre de notre projet DRMCast. DRMCast est un r?cepteur OC que nous avons d?velopp? sur fonds propres qui permet de rediffuser localement un contenu DRM en wifi. Par cette interface du type gateway n?importe quel r?cepteur de type smartphone, tablette est ainsi capable de recevoir son, texte et image diffus?s en DRM. Des premiers tests ont ?t? r?alis?s sur la minitransat en 2019 avec un bulletin course vers les bateaux qui traversaient l?atlantique. Nous ne sommes pas assez avanc?s ? ce jour pour adresser des courses de type Vend?e Globle, mais le monde Maritime est une piste que nous envisageons pour DRMCast. Pour l?heure nous avons 4 cr?neaux de 30mn de diffusion avec les programme RFi monde et quelques donn?es associ?es : 13:00-13:30 11735 15:00-15:30 9905 17:30-18:00 9905 23:30-00:00 5875 Ces cr?neaux sont susceptibles de changer dans les jours/semaines ? venir il s?agit ici de tests pour poursuivre nos d?veloppements, nous ne faisons pas de communication pour le moment.

(hungaroboy via wor Jan 14) Radio France International in DRM mode. TDF performs "irregular" DRM broadcast tests during the month of January: from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on 7405 kHz; from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on 9900 kHz; from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on 15285 kHz; from 3:05 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on 9905 kHz; and from 11 p.m. to midnight on 5875 kHz. These are data broadcasts mainly for tests of the DRMCAST system for ships. The programs are broadcast by the Issoudun transmitter center (hours in UTC). These emissions were not recorded in the HFCC Winter database. Regular Radio France International broadcasts continue 24 hours a day on 3965 kHz from TDF Issoudun with 10 kW and an omnidirectional antenna.

QRM from piano riffs likely Rebelde/Cuba, but dominant is Spanish news, mentions ``Buenos Dias``, so maybe still replaying podcast of morning edition. No ID for HJHJ at ToH, but 0101 switch to different W&M casters with news about USA and COVID; ID in passing as ``La Voz de Am?rica``. A Venezuelan MW transmitter was supposedly pressed into service to jam this, also about which nothing further has been reported, but if VOA/HJHJ get into Bonaire, probably also into Caracas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 5870-5875-5880, Jan 26 circa 2350, DRM noise still here, i.e. the tests of TDF with RFI programming.
