"I was honored to serve as chairman of USA DRM for the first years of the group's existence, but now I need to devote my attention to my new NASB responsibilities. I can think of no one in the U.S. who is more dedicated and capable of taking on this position than Adil Mina. Over the past several years, Adil has worked tirelessly to promote DRM in the U.S. and around the world."

He was responsible for the design and development of the Continental Electronics' 500kW high frequency transmitter and the high-efficiency solid state modulator, which is found in installations around the world.

"As consumers become more techno-savvy, they are demanding more and more from their radio listening experience. As a founding member of DRM, we at Continental knew from the beginning how important this technology is to the U.S. broadcast market," Mina said. "We believe DMR is critical in helping broadcaster compete in the ever-changing market, and we intend to put significant effort into its promotion."
