So now it appears you not only lied about your own job title but you also lied about a colleague's in order to promote your own political ends. Pathetic. That is pretty funny. The engineering seminars and panels are scheduled by an entirely separate group, made up of other engineers. |

The comment about AM news talkers getting higer rates than FMs got more laughter than a good Leno monologue. Now, the whole world knows who you are, I have never hideen my name on Usenet... or even back to the BBS era on the Well. and just like HD Radio/IBOC, a complete farce ! There are already over 1000 HD FM's, and there are increasing numbers of receivers. Nobody in the industry ever thought that the project would bear short-term fruit (heck, the development started around 1991) so nobody in the industry, today, thinks that HD is a farce. It is simply one tool in a kit of many things radio has to do to remain viable. AM, on the other hand, has bigger problems than whether HD will work... the entire band, good stations and bad, is in rapid decline and the remaining listeners are ageing. This just shows, what a dumbass high-school dropout you are ! As I said, I dropped out to put my own radio station on the air in a large market... a station that became #1 in its first few months on the air. I must not have been too dumb, then. Dumb enough to get tossed out of the country at gunpoint. And, there is still the question of whether you actually owned the station(s) in the first place. |

Being the Drake afficionado you are, what kind of experience have you had with long term performance changes in your rigs? Component drift. Heat related issues. Alignment stability. Things like that. The R8 series seems to hold up quite well, other than the issue the R8B (and perhaps the R8A) has with the rotary encoder used in the tuning mechanism. I've never yet had to send in an R8 series for alignment per se though I did send my R8 to Chuck Rippel for a passband tuning adjustment, I believe it was a number of years ago. You've said you've had your rigs serviced by Drake....is that for any specific failure, or is it just general maintenance? Drake has/did service one of my R7's in the past and that was due to heat related issues in the power supply. If I recall correctly a few diodes went. The only other *big* issue to watch out for I think with the R7 is a failure of the on-off switch which is prone to failure and is a hard item I understand to find. It of course is a dual control being both an on-off switch and RF gain control. My current R7 was aligned by Jeff Covelli, WA8SAJ, in November 2005. Good service. The reason I ask is I'm looking at an R-8, and thinking about stability and reliability matters. Stability always seems to be good with the R8 series as does overall reliability IMHO. |

Don't forget another participant in this newsgroup who used the flame wars he started on RRS for his classroom. As well, he put them up in edited form on an anti-nazi website, one that was quoted in a Peter Jennings story on ABC News. I must have somehow missed that one, or forgotten about it. What was it about? Actually, you were instrumental in running that one off. A certain "professor" who took it upon himself to create chaos where there was none. Ahhh... It's all coming back to me now! Yes.....good times. I have a great deal of respect for you, Pete, but you're really making me laugh with this one. Well, damn, Steve. Normally I have to be naked before I get laughs like that. You are, however--you'll be very glad to hear, not my type. :) As long as I've got you here, let me ask you a question. Being the Drake afficionado you are, what kind of experience have you had with long term performance changes in your rigs? Component drift. Heat related issues. Alignment stability. Things like that. The R8 series seems to hold up quite well, other than the issue the R8B (and perhaps the R8A) has with the rotary encoder used in the tuning mechanism. I've never yet had to send in an R8 series for alignment per se though I did send my R8 to Chuck Rippel for a passband tuning adjustment, I believe it was a number of years ago. You've said you've had your rigs serviced by Drake....is that for any specific failure, or is it just general maintenance? Drake has/did service one of my R7's in the past and that was due to heat related issues in the power supply. If I recall correctly a few diodes went. The only other *big* issue to watch out for I think with the R7 is a failure of the on-off switch which is prone to failure and is a hard item I understand to find. It of course is a dual control being both an on-off switch and RF gain control. My current R7 was aligned by Jeff Covelli, WA8SAJ, in November 2005. Good service. The reason I ask is I'm looking at an R-8, and thinking about stability and reliability matters. Stability always seems to be good with the R8 series as does overall reliability IMHO. Thank you. I appreciate the insights. You're quite welcome. |

Mee see see pee pee eye doesn't have any Radio stations that play good
old Polka Music.But,howsomever,I remember back in the 1940's/1950's there was at least one Radio station that used to play a Polka Music song or tree once in a while.I love that old Polka Music.What's I gotta do? Look up some Polka Music on the enterhernet and then step over to the Be Bop music store across Highway 80 from me and get that dudette woman over there to order some Polka Music on CDs for me? cuhulin |

"D Peter Maus" wrote in message ... Actually, when I was at CBS, the GM had the AOL Radio boards up on a machine in the conference room, so staff could receive and respond to questions from listeners in a public forum. He cruised all the radio boards and some newsgroups every day, as a manner of getting street level input. This went on for more than a year. Not only is the contnt on boards interesting, it comes at times from so far in left field that it forces a person actually in radio to verify their thinking. I have actually changed my perspectives on a number of areas, based on having "we have always done it this way" theories questioned or even destroyed by active listeners on boards. Not only is that often the case, but it forces one to research data to rebut an argument. At no time have I become so aware of the problems facing AM as afer looking at a dozen or so major markets in Arbitron over the last decade to document a point. Normally, I would have simply had an "impression" based on experience, but not real hard facts... which were far worse than my impression. It was a good idea in theory but wasn't very effective as a tool because the boards quickly became overrun by sockpuppets for a handful of gripers, a few of whom were staff at the competition. And there was a lot of the usual flame war bickering. Flame wars? Here? But what came out of the experiment, especially early on, was a clear object lesson to the staff at how little the most vocal listeners really knew or understood how the radio business worked. And how little they cared about knowing. And that teaches everyone that the random request or comment or complaint has to be taken in the context of the entirity of a station's listenership. So, it's not inconceivable that he may, indeed, have it up on a machine in house. I had it on a big screen last night in Houston at a hotel where we were going to do a research project later in the day; I used it as an example of the "reliabilty" of a single listener's opinion vs. that of the universe of listeners. And it's likely that some of his associates are participating. Nearly my entire research staff was there. It was very educational in that it showed that single opinions can cover a very great range from one side of an issue to another, but the vast majority, around 90%, are concentrated in a very narrow and relatively similar range. Knowing how to distinguish the fringe from the core is one of the essential skills of a radio programmer or manager. Separating wheat from the chaff is an old concept, often forgotten. The internet is a great leveler, but does not make a distinction between the well reasoned and documented and the blindly opinionated. |

Looks like you need to change your perspective, on how HD Radio is being marketed to the public, because this baby is dead - too-little- too-late. |
