Radio New Zealand’s new 100 kW shortwave DRM transmitter has been installed at Rangitaiki Transmitter Centre and is now fully operated by the New Zealand public broadcaster. Tests on the antennas have already been carried out by Swiss technicians at Ampegon. The first tests were broadcast without audio with BF signals of different frequencies. DRM is also tested with “test messages” at 17900 kHz.
RNZ targets Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Tonga, but the broadcasts are widely received as far as Europe.
