What happens when everything goes digital? What will happen to shortwave?
More than likely, shortwave will go digital too! In fact Radio Canada International is a member of a worldwide consortium called the DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) which is committed to establishing a worldwide standard for digital shortwave transmission. The benefits will be better reception, better sound quality, easier to use receivers, and the ability to imbed text data in the transmissions.
