Project: Getting to Know DAB+

I am developing the project GETTING TO KNOW DAB+, with the goal of traveling to France in 2026 to meet enthusiasts of the DAB+ model—whether connected to the industry itself or simply passionate listeners. I want to capture, without intermediaries, the subjective perception of what it is like to have access to the DAB+ system for listening to digital radio, as well as to make indoor recordings.

My base will be in Nancy, France, and if the fundraising exceeds the minimum target, I plan to extend the tests along the route between Nancy and Luxembourg. The funds raised will mainly cover airfare and the rental of a car equipped with a DAB+ receiver, which will also allow me to carry out tests around Nancy.

Basic food and accommodation expenses will not be part of the target. Therefore, once the amounts needed for airfare and car rental are secured, the trip will be confirmed. I am considering two possible travel windows: January or June 2026.

Fundraising

There will be two ways to support the project:

• PayPal: for national and international donations, in any currency and amount.

• PIX: for donations within Brazil.

As a token of gratitude, I plan to include the sponsor’s image (individual or company) in a dedicated post, along with a personal message of appreciation for their support of digital radio in Brazil. In addition, I will share the list of supporters with the main radio associations so that they are aware of the effort Brazil is making in favor of digital radio.
