WOR 710 turned on their HD/IBOC tonight and when its skywave skips
into Maryland WLW is unlistenable. WOR completely obliterates WGN 720.
I would like to commend iBiquity and the HD Radio Alliance for the
desturuction of AM, all for the benefit of a few thousand local
listeners, if they can even pick up the HD/IBOC signals:

"Here in OC, I found two AM HD signals on the air at 12:15 AM: Our own
KFWB (980, Los Angeles) and KFBK (1530, Sacramento). KFWB is always
reliable during the day hereabouts, and has a non-directional 5,000-
watt signal. KFBK is a 50,000-watt north-south directional, about 400
miles north of here. Now the bad news: no lock on either one for more
than a second or two, although the analog signals sounded fine. And
this time I tried driving around a bit. I got very little other than a
flashing HD indicator. KFWB's sidebands obliterated 970 and 990, and
KFBK'S were doing significant damage to an unidentified distant signal
on 1520 that should have been listenable. This ain't looking too good.
See ya tomorrow night."

Boycott HD Radio!

Couple good strong signals that should make it into CA on 1520. Both are
50KW. One is in Portland, OR, the other in OKC, OK. (there are places in
Portland where the local (actually licensed to Oregon City, with towers in
Clackamas) can be nulled and the OKC station can be heard.)- Hide quoted text -

I usually get 1520 from Portland Or. without any problem at my
location on Vancouver Island. Tonight the noise bands from KFBK are
obliterating 1520 and 1540. KFBK is coming in strongly as it usually
does.

This is the first time I have heard the digital hash and it sounds
like holding an electric shaver against my ear.
