MW DXing down the tube? NOPE!

HD Radio/IBOC will fail - VERY few are buying HD radios, and the FCC
has not authorized IBOC for nighttime AM, so nothing to worry about,
yet. If you want to learn more visit:


IBOC DXing is rather fun. A real kick picking up an AM station broadcasting
IBOC at a small fraction of power relative to the analog main carrier in
digital sound. Having a DX station's call-sign displayed for instant
station verification is pure bliss.

So far my best IBOC dx catch with "instant verification" was about 500 miles
via grayline one morning. Keep in mind that until the analog broadcast
signal is turned off, the IBOC signal is transmitted at a small fraction of
the power that the main analog signal is broadcast. So any IBOC DX catch
made right now is indeed a remarkable feat. The night that AM stations
broadcast in 100% IBOC only with full legal power will really be fun.

There are a few AM IBOC stations that broadcast about an hour or so before
and after their local sunrise/sunset.

IBOC/digital DXing is no different than DXing other digital modes like CW,
RTTY, HDTV, etc... All the whiners are just concerned that they will have
to retire their analog R8 receivers along with their analog TV's to the
museum. Hopefully, the IBOC decoder software will be made available in the
future for free and in the public domain. That would make IBOC available
for decoding on any receiver using a computer. Imagine the possibilities
with a software defined radio such as the SDR-1000.

They don't allow HD on AM after sunset.. That should help

I notice that a number of stores have BUY BUY BUY THEY MAKE GREAT XMAS
GIFTS AND YOU DON'T GET A MONTHLY BILL FROM SIRIUS OR XM! ads for HD
Radio receivers. So once there is a reasonable per centage of HD
receivers will MW DX be a viable hobby? Will anyone outside the local
area be able to get radio stations 10 kHz away if they live anywhere
near an HD xmtr?

Don't listen to this piece-of-**** ! HD Radio/IBOC has only 60% the
coverage of analog and causes adjacent-channel interference. To learn

HELL!!! Can't we talk radio instead of flaming??!

What new SW listener, or possible listener, think about the hobby?

dxAss is not a hobbyist. He is simply a garden variety bigot and racist
who
uses the fact he owns an R8 as an excuse to stalk canadians and others he
considers undesirable (99.99999999999999% of Humanity) so he can make
some
of the dumbest flames known to Usenet.

**** you, cocksucker (and fake Hispanic) !

Ah, I so admire a person with a strong command of language.

Ah, and I admire fake hispanics that use their name to get positions at
Univision, when they are only ****ing high-school dropouts !

They will, eventually. The real issue is that nearly nobody listens to AM at
night, anyway.

The Lehman Brothers ratings scorecard for 2006 shows Univsion the #1 group
in the US based on ratings performance. There must be a reason I get paid
other than my baptismal name... and ratings must be that reason.
