DRM broadcast of Classic Gold Digital via Moosbrunn, Austria (transmitter is 50 kW output). This frequency previously used by RNW’s Flevo transmitter. Classic Gold Digital also received via DAB on the ‘DRg London’ multiplex. First time I’ve heard a live UK station broadcasting on both DRM and DAB.

Received Virgin Classic Radio from Moosbrunn broadcasting live - also able to hear Virgin Classic Radio via DAB (‘DRg London’ multiplex). Virgin make far greater use of radiotext messages, not only stating what music is being played on Virgin Classic Radio but also what music is also playing on Virgin Groove! (another Virgin station broadcasting on DAB ‘Switch London’ multiplex). Note that Virgin Radio and Virgin Classic Radio are two different UK radio stations.
