DE - That was "KOAC" 550 kHz - in Corvallis, OR
- which is part of the Oregon Public Radio System.


DE - I am simply reporting on what I 'observed'
last night on the Radio.


Night HD is still not authorized. The FCC approved, but we are waiting for
the publication in the Federal register for the FCC to give the go-ahead.


KFI, for example, has not had HD on since their tower fell over 2 and a half
years ago.


DE,


I am only reporting on what the Blinking Blue Light
on the Radiosophy "HD100" Radio is telling me.

That blinking blue light means you are out-of-luck, a dumb-ass for
buying an HD radio, and supporting the destuction of the AM broadcast
band !- Hide quoted text -

ibocisacr,

IBOC - Makes $en$e in the FM Band
and the jury is still out for a few years
as to whether IBOC will be a bust -or-
the destruction of the AM/MW Band.

Clearly for "Rural" Radio Listeners the Digital
part of the AM & FM Broadcast Signal will
have to be increased to reach the Listeners
on the Fringe of the Radio Stations range.

Phasing in and Increase of the Digital Signal over
Time would ease the Transition to HD Radio.
First Year 1% Digital
Second Year 2% Digital
Third Year 4% Digital
Fourth Year 8% Digital
Fifth Year 16% Digital
A 16% Digital Signal should give a HD Radio
Station a Signal Coverage Area far better then
their present Analog Signal Coverage Area.

of course that is just a dumb-ass opinion ~ RHF
