Bob, Bob, Bob. You're pathetic! Digital doesn't mean better. I'm
embarrased at you!



For audio/video, it does. Do you think that 100 year old AM
technology can't be improved? Or are you one of those "tubes 4ever"
people?

Look, I have loads of tube radios here. More than you can imagine.
Philcos, Zeniths, an E. H. Scott. I listen to them every day, mainly
things that I broadcast myself. Yes, they sound (mostly) very
nice. But if you think digital is not better then you are simply a
luddite.

I'm not claiming that the current AM HD system is the best we can do.
Clearly it is not. But at least someone is *trying* to bring AM into
the 21st century. We should not be cheering at its failure.


You can easily build survival radios that transmit and receive AM or CW.
Therefore, we should therefore maintain a vital analog presence, at
least below 30 MHz.

Therefore...
