Budapest, Hungary (Photo by @DNovac)<\/p><\/div>\n

Several readers have written recently asking about the DRM tests we mentioned in a previous post<\/a>. These tests are being sponsored by the Budapest University of Technology from June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020–thus, they’ve been on the air for several months already.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The programming, which was produced by Radio Maria, is being played in a loop–repeated over and over again. The signal is a modest 100 watts and is being transmitted via a 5\/8 wavelength vertical on 26,060 kHz.<\/p>\n

This is a low-power DRM broadcast using a very<\/em> modest antenna, so I suppose it goes without saying that expectations should be in check. It’s a very long-shot for those of us living outside of Europe, of course. With that said, there are a number of KiwiSDR sites nearby Budapest<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You could certainly see the distinctive DRM signal on a KiwiSDR waterfall display, but I’m not sure how you’d decode it.<\/p>\n

KiwiSDRs do have an IQ mode, however. I am very curious if anyone has ever used a KiwiSDR to decode DRM, perhaps, using Dream<\/a>? Could the KiwiSDR IQ be fed into DREAM with a virtual audio cable?<\/p>\n

Please comment–have you ever decoded DRM via a KiwiSDR site?<\/p>\n
