You should really be ashamed of yourself.

It's one thing troll a newsgroup. It's not a nice thing, but it's
forgiveable. But to mount a moral high horse and lament the loss of
jobs and pension funds that you are personally, and intentionally,
destroying is beyond rude.

Huh? We are trying to preserve the value of tens of billions of dollars
worth of AM stations by keeping them viable for longer.

It is extremely distasteful, and sad. You
obviously get some sort of 'kick' out of visiting this group, saying
bizarre things, deriding the interests of others and just generally
****ting where other people live.

The facts are that 1) I did not invent HD, 2) I had nothing to do with its
FCC approval and, 3) never thought it was the best system.

However, it is _the_ system and only system because AM does not have the
time for a different one and because any system that is not on the same chip
as the FM digital system will fail automatically.

This is how AM radio in the Western Hemisphere and, probably, Asia is going
to be. If you think reality is in disagreement with your interests, don't
blame me. Go see a psychiatrist.

Do you ever wonder why? Why do you
derive more satisfaction out of putting other people down than from
pursing interests of your own? Might be worth a moment's reflection.


Putting down? Do you have any inkling of how fast AM is losing its economic
viability in the USA? Most of the listeners are over 55, a group no large
advertiser buys, and the younger demos are shrinking each year as the
average age of AM listeners goes up. HD is as good as we are going to get to
have a second chance on keeping AM viable.

And did I forget to mention... in the Spanish / Portuguese equivalent of
Radio World, several of the Brazilian operators were quoted as considering
HD for domestic Short Wave.

You might want me to blame me for that, too.
