How can you interfere with an ever declining analog station base?

You and your pals should know. It's called IBOC. Pay attention,
'Eduardo',
IBOC
= QRM.

On SW it is called DRM, and this thread started with the announcement
of
a
plan to build DRM statewide SW facilities in Alaska.

No kidding? Damn, you sure are one smart faux Hispanic.


I started the thread. Your memory is failing.

Really?

Yes. I posted an extract from the RW article.

I was referring to my memory failing, dumbass. Please, try to pay attention.

In any case, this is an idea (the Alaskan one, not the one of your memory
failing) that has some potential for reviving SW's usage for service to
rural areas with a 21st Century modulation scheme.

It's a dumb idea. But that's so like you, oh faux one.


Serving areas of Alaska that do not have reliable... or any... radio service
is dumb? I think the idea is good.

Yeah, retards like you think that QRM is good. That's why you promote IBOC,
right?



Such a rural audience as exists across Alaska can not be served any other
way. There is not the economy of scale for satellite, and the high latitudes
may not offer good direct satellite broadcast opportunities. AM can not
serve such areas day and night, and even considering AM is silly due to the
vast difference in daylight hours around the year. FM is strictly local and
the terrain prohibits any viable network due to cost. Regular analog SW is
probably not practical as most people under 40 or so just will not listen to
fading and analog AM quality. The Internet is not mobile enough, and even
WiMax and emerging technologies will not have the rural coverage needed.
That leaves DRM, a conclusion I am sure the promoters came up with in the
same elimination of alternatives" process. It's a very bright idea if it can
be made financially self supporting.
