STIX HIX NIX IBOC
We do occasionally observe major stations running IBOC at night. It must be some kind of FCC-sanctioned test as it happens far too often to be explained as technical errors at some of the country's best-engineered stations. Usually that doesn't happen at this many stations at the same time though. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""" I was in the Eastern Time zone. It might have been a test as I have never noticed this interference before. I thought it might have some connection to the switch from Daylight saving time. All the am stations you hear in Sault Ste Marie are from the US side although they tend to be buried by skip. I remember passing through Iron Bridge one day years ago when it was an am station. They had an antenna strung between two telephone poles and a kid was doing a remote at the Dairy Queen from a volkswagon bus using an old Garrard record changer. A real operation bootstrap. I gave them and A++ for effort. Now that it is a French staion, I noticed that they have a proper tower on a hill above the town but the local charm is gone. One thing is for su those so-called weak little IBOC sidebands completely covered the adjacent stations. |
