Good. They selectively fade a lot. Now I can use the sync detector on
my SW2.


Where did you get this news?


I complained to them about their signal sounding really bad at night
when the phase cancelations occurred and the hiss in general anytime day
or night.


I can see it is off right now at 6:13 PM PT. Is it off day and night now
or just night time?


I got the news by tuning-in and noticing I did not have to turn off my
Synchronous Sideband to make the wuba-wubba-wubba go away. This was in
the day time.


That's great news Dave. Now I can listen to KFI in the evening again.
Hopefully the the IBOC will stay off.


In the car in the daytime if I traveled behind a large building,
hillside or any weak signal area that noise would show up. It was very
annoying.

Hopefully, another IBLOCKer off for good! Struble is a scam-artist!- Hide quoted text -

As I was tuning the MW band on a couple of receivers last night, I
noticed far less IBOC hash across the bands. Most significantly, local
WHAS has it turned off, enabling clear reception of KOA and WCCO - two
of my favorites.

Yup, they are starting to turn off both FM-HD and AM-HD, but I am sure
it will be gradual - far too embarrassng for the broadcasters that
bought into Struble's scam. An up-to-date AM-HD list:
