Crystal Radio met DRM

On 4 May 2024, a group of Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) enthusiasts, including Dr. Mohan Natarajan (VU3CUU), Nakeeran, Vaipadi Kumar, Raja (VU3LJX), and Dr. Jaisakthivel (VU3UOM), gathered at Marina Beach near All India Radio, Chennai, to discuss the future prospects of DRM Radio.

In an interesting twist, Dr. Jaisakthivel showcased a vintage crystal radio alongside modern DRM equipment, demonstrating the evolution of radio technology. Notably, crystal radios operate without external power, harnessing energy from ambient radio waves.

Following this, Dr. Mohan showcased a DRM radio within his Maruti Suzuki car. This gathering was organized by Vaipadi Kumar, who administers a Tamil WhatsApp group dedicated to DRM Radio. (Jaisakthivel)
