Begging your pardon, Eduardo.. but you're full of yourself and of

else that decorum doesn't allow me to mention. I don't live in the middle

doesn't
reach where I live.. and some of those places have even been within city
limits. IBOC DOES INTERFERE WITH LISTENED TO SIGNALS. Not everyone lives
in
your perfect radio world. And the FCC, Ibiquity, and station engineers
that
run stations with IBOC shouldn't be arbitrarily deciding that I or anyone
else is not important. It's a very good way to get a portion of their
anatomy handed to them financially.



Careful, Brenda Ann, you'll get tagged as a moron for not
understanding basic marketing. After all, a 70dBu signal is the
minimum listenable, according to Eduardo. Right... I'm trying to
listen to a signal, not light a fluorescent lamp with it!

When 85% of the actual listening occurs in the 70, and nearly all the
remainder in the 64, it is tough to defend protection beyond the 54, which
is both 10 db down and where essentially no listening of consequence takes
place.
