UPDATE 20120915: This special broadcast was heard in Japan! Check out the YouTube video of reception. AMAZING!

UPDATE 20120905: (from ianf via DRMRX) - ...The BBC programme ‘The Strand’ demo will be transmitted in a loop on 243 kHz signal for the duration of the IBC 6-12 September 2012 before 05:35, between 09:20-11:35 and after 18:30 central European time. The loop may not be on continuously all night, but will be kept on air as much as possible.* We expect that the transmitter will ID as “DRM Kalundborg”.

CDNSE Newstar DR111 Review (part 4)

Here is a nice picture of Allen at the Continental NAB 2012 booth holding the Newstar DR111. More DRM NAB photos here.

On the right side is the 1/8th inch, 50 Ohm antenna connection. As you know from my previous review post, I have tried the DE31 Active antenna and a cheap reel antenna with great success

Next on my list of things to try was my Select-a-tenna. I have two models, one with an external 8th inch jack and one without. I connected the one with the jack via a short cable to the DR111 and began to play with MW. I tried 1070 KNX in Los Angeles and 810 KGO in San Francisco (I'm located in the state of Oregon).
