<![CDATA[In this paper, DRM is applied for simulating coverage prediction in Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI). The proposed method is developed by simulating high frequency propagation from RRI Pro 3 transmitter with VOACAP online software. The simulation is undertaken in some different conditions. The variation of antenna type and transmitter power are observed in the simulation. The time of propagation also discussed to predict the coverage. The result shows that the variation of parameter influences the coverage result of DRM propagation in HF band. Changing the antenna type and time of propagation will make impact in the range of coverage while adding power transmitter gives insignificantly effect to the range of coverage.
