Mexico says "Hang on a minute" to IBOC

Mexico Says Hang on a Minute!

Mexico wants U.S. radio regulators to re-think their decision to allow
AMs to go IBOC at night and FMs to operate on the extended hybrid
digital carriers.

Our neighbors to the south say they are not happy the FCC authorized its
recent "final" IBOC rules governing broadcast transmissions without
first coordinating those through international treaties.

In a letter to Chairman Martin filed in the IBOC docket, the Mexican
Federal Telecommunications Commission, which regulates communications in
Mexico, states that "until technical criteria" have been established
between the agencies to allow "optimal and efficient development of
analog and digital radio broadcasting along our common border," the
commission should hold off on the two points made earlier.

Sources tell me they believe Mexico filed the letter so it would have
standing in any proceeding on IBOC and to have a way to adjudicate
interference claims for the border area. Indeed, the group also refers
to possible interference from U.S. IBOC stations to Mexican stations as
a reason to have the coordination completed according to treaties first.

The FCC handles coordination with the State Department, so perhaps the
timing isn't all up to the FCC.

Interesting development. As we recently reported, Mexico has agreed in
principle to allow border stations to use FM IBOC, and that decision
needs to be finalized and printed in Mexico's version of the Federal
Register.

The fact is that more an more stations are adding HD, and it has actually
been authorized for use in Mexico, where multiple stations are on the air.

The fact that the information is attributed to the entity that does not
(exist) and issue licenses makes the whole thing suspect; Mexico is
authorizing HD broadcasting and XHTY put it on the air two weeks ago.

"in Mexico" those are the key words
If they don't care what transnational effects result from their policies
as long as the money flows, why should we care any more about the
reverse?
When Mexico darkens that international jamming station XLNC and allows
KPFK to disseminate an alternative to right wing corporate controlled
propaganda, then and only then will I regain any concern for Mexico.

KPFK is protected only to the extent of a conforming class B radio station.
Grandfathered "over power" or "over height" operations are not protected to
the extent of the actual contours, but to the extent of the contours of a
conforming station of the same class.

KPFK has no right to any coverage in the San Diego metro, and XHLNC is a
legally licensed station in conformance with the treaty matters concerning
border area broadcasting.

As an example, another grandfathered "Super B's" is KLVE 107.5 in LA, 29,000
watts on Mt. Wilson... it was a top 10 station in Santa Barbara's ratings.
But because all the coverage in that area was beyond that of a conforming
Class B, the FCC licensed a new station on the adjacent channel, 107.7, and
KLVE became unlistenable in Santa Barbara. This is because KLVE had no legal
right to that extended coverage.

I don't understand how XHLNC/Tijuana is a "jammer"? The station is
licenced to serve the Tijuana/San Diego metro. Whether or not it
blocks reception of an out of town station (KPFK/Los Angeles) is
irrelevant. KPFK's service area is Los Angeles, NOT San Diego.

Besides, I'm sure XHLNC itself is not thrilled at having their
coverage area cut back by an out of area station on the same freq.
They're supposedly shifting to 104.9 FM later this year and boosting
power, which will be a good thing as far as I'm concerned, since
XLNC-1 (the station's on-air name) is one of my favorite FM stations
out that way.

100,000 watt FM signals are not meant to cover only a single city, but a
very wide area. Most of the 100KW plants in Portland easily cover a 75 mile
radius (easily listenable on even the crappiest of Chinese Junk radios. One
thing the FCC would never do (and it pains me to give them ANY credit
whatsoever) is to put two stations on the same frequency with overlapping
coverage areas (nighttime AM propagation notwithstanding).

The distance from the Mt. Wilson tower site to S.D. is only about 100 miles.
Given terrain and tower height, that's EASILY a listenable signal in S.D.

Good morning Brenda,

Now that we're on the FM thing, there's a station that is in Grand Rapids,
Michigan that for years advertised that it was the most powerful FM station in
the country.

Maybe on 97.3? They now play country, but once were rock.

Could easily pick them up down into Indiana (my home and native land) quite

Actually, there are two grandfathered stations in Grand Rapids. WOOD has
265,000 watts ERP and WBCT has 320,000 watts ERP. WOOD-FM is on 105.7 and
the other on 93.7. WBCT was originally put on by Fetzer, combining the aural
sections of two high band VHF TV transmitters, modified, to give nearly 500
kw ERP... but, at the time, only horizontal polarization.

Unfortunately, both have had their useful coverage reduced as they are only
protected to the contour of a conforming 50 kw at 500 foot class B FM. More
recent allocations limit the listenership area considerably.

Most of the LA stations have had cochannel or adjacents put on the "real but
not protected" countours in the last several decades.

XHLNC (XLNC is not the call letter assignment) was licensed to Victor Diaz

radio in Mexico. At one point, they owned about 40 stations.

The Diaz family was associated with the liberal PRI party, by the way.

Try 101.1 FM in New York vs. 101.1 FM in Philadelphia. If one is off
the air and you slightly adjust your antenna, you can pick up the
other. In certain areas of central New Jersey, they jam each other.

Same with 98.3 in New Brunswick, NJ and 98.3 in Hempstead, NY. I
remember as a kid slightly adjusting the power cord on what passed for
my "hi fi" (a Yorx all-in one record changer thing from the 1980s) and

So yeah, the FCC is very guilty of shortspacing frequencies,
especially in crowded areas like the North East.

I was born in 1975. The scenario I just narrated took place in the

stereo in question was someting I had found on the curb a couple
minutes after some lady brought it out of her apartment. I kind of
miss it -- it had everything I could want. Three-speed record
changer, 8-track player and cassette recorder and AM/FM radio.

That's an encouraging thought,
