Subject: Re: TDF Issoudun in DRM mode on shortwave

Hello Wolfy
Here's the answer from TDF

- - - -

Hello,
Since January 1, we have been carrying out new DRM tests
from our Issoudun distribution center.

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.

No problem for the translation ?
Bis bald !
Jean-Michel

Cher Jean-Michel,
je voudrais vous demander des informations d?taill?es sur les tests
ISSoudun DRM: qui initie ces diffusions? Le D?partement de la D?fense
de la Marine, la TDF, ou est-ce un service radio fran?ais r?gulier de la
RFI ?

salutations de Stuttgart,
Bonne ann?e 2021,
restez toujours en bonne sant?.

Re: Test frequencies of TDF in DRM mode:

11735 kHz DRM mode noted in KIWI Net sdr S=9+5dB at 13.02 UT on Sat Jan 16,
8.08kbps SNR, 16.4 dB, IF -9.7dB.

FRANCE Unscheduled broadcast of Radio France International.
"Regular Radio France International broadcasts continue 24 hours a day on
3965 kHz from TDF Issoudun with 10 kW and an omnidirectional antenna."
It is also in DRM.
(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.

This and other frequencies now entered on the drop-down DRM sked in the
player as TDF not RFI, but in pink as not verified rather than green as
verified. Did they get it from Ivo and where did he get it?

Not HFCC. Shows 2300-2400 UT on 5875 kHz like Ivo but it was *not* - on
when checked at 2311 UT, probably not starting until 2330 UT; and off
again after 2400 UT.

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915-DRM, Jan 27 at 0110, Nacional FM with
mostly music, via TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, SNR fluxuating 9-10 dB, which
is not quite enough to avoid dropouts and skips at 12.46 kbps;
0130-0135 break for interview about music to follow, now worsening
circa 9, 0140 classical flute/violin/guitar; $tereo would be nice, but
too taxing on DRM bandwith, can`t even maintain solid modul in mono.
But the one-line Journaline news headlines rotating come thru
unscathed at 2.30 kbps. I was trying to show a few, but altho hilited
they will not copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** CHINA. 6900, Jan 25 at 2353, JBA carrier with flutter, presumed
CNR1 jammer against a listed Sound of Hope frequency; with 2-way
Spanish QRM on LSB only, a major frequency for that (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. 6850, Jan 26 at 2357, JBA S5-S6 talk sounds Chinese,
presumed CNR1 jammer against another listed SOH frequency; however
there are two signals, at least one of which is slightly on the minus
side. Cuts off a few seconds before 2400* like CNR1 but before the
timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 600 kHz, Jan 27 at 2359, via TWR Bonaire SDR,
checking for the VOA relay via Radio Libertad, HJHJ, Barranquilla,
about which little has been seen since first report last September 19,
of this way to get into hostile Venezuela without using any SW. 

Nothing about this in WRTH 2021 under Colombia, pp 163/165, but VOA
Spanish under USA, page 507 shows -- only -- 600-hjh site at 00-02
Sat/Sun, 00-03 M-F. 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. Then just in on the WOR
iog, a reply that Jean-Michel Aubier got from TDF to an inquiry
forwarded from Wolfgang B?schel; in translation:

``Hello, Since January 1, we have been carrying out new DRM tests
from our Issoudun distribution center. These tests are initiated by
TDF as part of our DRMCast project.

DRMCast is a SW receiver that we have developed on our own funds which

world is a track that we are considering for DRMCast.

For the time being, we have four 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`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Jan 26 at 2112, VOA-One with Afro?rock, split-second
dropout of modulation, or is it also a break in carrier? S-meter also
seems to dip. I have noticed such often before on this Grimesland
transmitter. Switch to off-tuned SSB but no breaks detected in next
couple minutes. Needs further checking; watching waterfall should make
it more obvious; on air 21-22 UT only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. VOA Spanish MW relay: see COLOMBIA

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2070 monitoring; next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday  WRMI 5010 to S

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to anonymous, for a contribution via PayPal to
woradio at yahoo.com and commenting: ``My usual anonymous seasonal
donation to your always informative broadcast!``

One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Jan 26 at 2120, this reactivated WRMI is still on and
now not // 9395. Still no sign of 9455 on the skedgrid at 0200 Jan 27
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Tue Jan 26 at 2121, no signal from WINB, but gospel
huxter going by 2208 recheck on the always-wobbly carrier. Usually
starts earlier, but depends on airtime sales. New websked dated Jan 24
now shows starting at *2000 M-F, and on Tuesday:
``04:00P / Tue-2100...Bishop S. C. Johnson
  06:30P / Tue-2330...The Essentials of Life and Wellness``
End-times of shows (nor of the World) are never specified, but assumed
to run until the next one start; however that would make the Bishop
show 2.5 hours long; so takes a break? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
