Ampegon is the new iteration of Thompson, with offices in Germany, Switzerland and China. This press release reports five 300kW DRM capable transmitters are ready to go (as well as 5 antennas and 2 control systems). Based on this image's file name, they are headed for Taiwan. I'm not sure, but capacity like that could make for some excellent DRM listening!Full text of press release:
