DAB DX

Telford

Tropo openings on Band III, logged from Telford. Newest events at the top. A multiplex is about 1.5 MHz wide, so it shows on an SDR waterfall long before the ensemble list decodes.

Finding DAB DX

If the SDR shows more than a couple of MHz of spectrum, look for DAB DX in the waterfall. The signal is visible there long before the channel list decodes, and it is easier than constantly re-scanning a consumer DAB radio.
