SW,

"In addition, the LW band and the "Tropical" part of the SW band should

be pressed into service for one or two 500,000 watt national coverage
broadcasters - government sponsored (NPR?) "

Americans increasingly will not listen to even local AM-quality radio.
they certainly would not listen to fady, erratic SW.

Glad you have a good grasp on your tiny little world Eduardo.. but a lot
of
the rest of us belong to a great big world with a lot of other choices
besides the ones that the NAB wants to cram down our throats. I don't
personally know ANYBODY outside of broadcasting that want's to put up with
IBOC, and I know several BE's (and I am one of them) that consider it
nothing but a QRM generator, and a major PITA to work with. Not to mention
that anyone outside a few mile radius from the transmitter can't hear the
digital signal to start with. This is proven by anecdotal evidence of
numerous people who have purchased the $300 BA (down from $500) and
attempted to use it in their local signal areas.




That's simply not true. I get several stations from Mt. Wilson in
pristine digital that are unlistenable in FM Stereo.


Good for you. That makes one person out of hundreds that I know.
