Global Radio Ministries will broadcast both English and Japanese versions during their regular Saturday DRM broadcast from 1200 to 1230 on 22 June 2024.
Broadcasting two audio channels requires us to use 64-QAM modulation for the Main Service Channel. The receiver needs about 3dB more signal than is required for the 16-QAM usually used. We expect to have our Antenna 1, which was destroyed in the typhoon last summer, restored by Saturday. That will improve our signal to Japan.
Global Radio Ministries hopes to switch that program from English to Japanese in the near future, but this Saturday is a demonstration of their ability to produce the program in the Japanese language.
