Well, the verdict is in and it is a strong GO!
Brother Brendan served as our representative on this one (former U.S. Coast Guard radioman, I might add - Semper Paratus!) by presenting them with reception reports and data analysis. So without further adieu, here is the final report: Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)Broadcast Summary Report For Long Range Dissemination of Maritime Information. Thanks to Benn for the tip from DXLD. Please note that they discuss sending News and Sports info via DRM too. COOL!
