https://swling.com/blog/2024/08/rnz-inaugurates-new-analog-and-drm-ampegon-transmitter/    Ampegon??? Isn't that the big TX that WBCQ is using?

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Yes. I doubt RNZ is going to use 500 kW though. The photo at RNZ shows standard looking towers rather than the beast WBCQ has. But maybe they'll be able to broadcast AM and DRM simultaneously all day, or multiple beams at one time? Nothing in the article or at RNZ's site says they plan on doing that but since they're committed to DRM it would make sense if they would.
