DE - So your Answer to Rural Folks is let them
Listen to XM or Sirius Satellite Radio for High
Quality Digital Sound. ~ RHF


Again, the HD signal is digital. There is no 1:1 power comparison. Much
lower powers are effective in digital.



That goes for a 50 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station
which is only putting out a 500 Watt Digital (1%)
Signal is wasting the time going Digital.


Our experience with a number of 50 kw AMs in HD is that the HD is often
listenable beyond the listenable and usable analog range.

DE - OK so it is not 1:1 -but- 1:100 ? Get Real ! ~ RHF

The current 'fixed' Power Output Ratio of 1:100 {1%}
for Digital-to-Analog should be increased to at least
3%; with 9% being better.

=OR= Turn the "HD" Radio Signal Off [.]

-cause- Outside the 10 mv/m Contour the "HD" Radio
Broadcasting Scheme is BROKEN ! -Big Time-
