Default Mexico says "Hang on a minute" to IBOC

...

"in Mexico" those are the key words
If they don't care what transnational effects result from their policies
as long as the money flows, why should we care any more about the
reverse?
When Mexico darkens that international jamming station XLNC and allows
KPFK to disseminate an alternative to right wing corporate controlled
propaganda, then and only then will I regain any concern for Mexico.


KPFK is protected only to the extent of a conforming class B radio station.
Grandfathered "over power" or "over height" operations are not protected to
the extent of the actual contours, but to the extent of the contours of a
conforming station of the same class.

KPFK has no right to any coverage in the San Diego metro, and XHLNC is a
legally licensed station in conformance with the treaty matters concerning
border area broadcasting.

As an example, another grandfathered "Super B's" is KLVE 107.5 in LA, 29,000
watts on Mt. Wilson... it was a top 10 station in Santa Barbara's ratings.
But because all the coverage in that area was beyond that of a conforming
Class B, the FCC licensed a new station on the adjacent channel, 107.7, and
KLVE became unlistenable in Santa Barbara. This is because KLVE had no legal
right to that extended coverage.
