Roncà, Italy, and Monte Calvarina, a peak of the Lessini Mountains, are known for their wines. As of Jan. 24, 2024, They are also home to the latest DAB+ transmission site for the Radio Digitale Veneto consortium.
The site is between the cities of Verona and Vicenza with a commanding view of the valleys below. Aeranti-Corallo, which represents about 450 local FM radio stations across Italy, shared these photos of the site. Radio Digitale Veneto is a member of the association.
The DAB+ broadcasts, operating in VHF channel 8C, are still considered experimental, but 20 local stations are participating in the project. The Monte Calvarina single-tower site is also home to antennas for several FM broadcasts.
