And if this indicates inoperability of the system for other owners, it means
AM's end is near as the listenership ages out of sales demos. CBS just
yesterday put sports talk on FM in Detroit, where they are apparently
concluding even that format, which "came" from AM 1270, is not as good on AM
as FM.

And I'm supposed to believe some anonymous guy without any proof (not

Truth is:

Nightime IBOC would work just fine if the adjust the parameters to fit

Our local ABC station (WABC-77) has been turning off its IBOC at night
for the past two nights, I've noticed. I figured something had to be
wrong between WABC and WJR-76 in Detroit.

Univision's WADO-1280 does the same thing. Sometimes it's not even on
during the day. Wonder who complained to WADO about nighttime
interference.

I just report what I hear. I occasionally do tune in WADO late at
night when they're playing music (for some odd reason instead of
replaying daytime talk shows). Last night was one such night. Didn't
notice any IBOC noise at all. I just wonder what's up with that

The few times I've listened to 1280 during the day, its IBOC signal
has sometimes been on and sometimes not.

I don't know David. If a pice of gear takes out 70 percent of my
(very expensive) transmitter -- the thing that makes money for me -- I
wouldn't be sending it back for a retrofitting. Instead, I'd be
tossing a ****fit and demanding my money back from the manufacturer,
in addition to compensation for lost air time and ad dollars.

I'd then consider sending them the bashed-up piece of gear, postage to
be paid by recipient. Nah, just kidding on that.

Seriously though. Ad dollars being what they are, you can't afford to
be off the air for a second because of a piece of defective gear
blowing up your rig.

- Eliminate the analog, and HD fits very nicely into a 10 kHz channel.

- Alternatively, you could keep the analog and let the HD "hang over"
5 kHz per side, which would not be quite as bad as the current
situation.

It's new technology... it's kind of the price one pays.

Actually, they replaced the modules.... after we bought a new Nautel 50
anyway.

It's no problem, as the site automatically will put another transmitter on

SFTV, { "Hybrid Digital" Man }

AM/MW "HD" Radio is 'by-design' Engineered to Interfer
with the two Adjacent AM/MW Radio Channels at 10 kHz.
http://electronicdesign.com/Files/29.../Figure_02.gif

AM {Basic} Analog Audio +/- 5 kHz
Digital Primary {Outside Audio} Side-Bands +/- 10~15 kHz
Digital Secondary {Inside Data} Side-Bands +/- 5~10 kHz

For the current IBOC Broadcast 'Scheme' to work on the
AM/MW Radio Band : The current Channel "Spacing" of
10 kHz would have to be expanded to 25 kHz. Meaning
that Half the Current AM/MW Radio Stations would have
to be 'transitioned' from the AM/MW Radio Band to the
FM Radio Band. In order to accomodate these 'new' FM
Radio Stations; the FM Radio Band would have to be
Expanded by using the former Analog TV Channels 5 & 6
{76 MHz to 88 MHz}.

1 - Serving in the Public Interest - The Clear Channel
Mega-Power AM/MW Radio Broadcaster is no longer
needed or required : Therefore the concept of Local
AM/MW Radio Stations having 1000 Watts and former
Clear Channel AM/MW Radio Stations having 50,000
Watts is clearly outdated.

2 - The 'artifical' 1% Digital to Analog Signal Ratio is
clearly not working fully within the 10 mv/m Contour
and Fails beyond it.
1000 Watts Analog ERP @ 1% = 10 Watts Digital
5000 Watts Analog ERP @ 1% = 50 Watts Digital
10,000 Watts Analog ERP @ 1% = 100 Watts Digital
20,000 Watts Analog ERP @ 1% = 200 Watts Digital
50,000 Watts Analog ERP @ 1% = 500 Watts Digital

3 - Localize All "HD" AM/MW Radio Broadcasting.
Three Classes of AM/MW "HD" Radio Broadcasters :
* Rural Local Radio Stations 100 Watts - Days and Nights
- - - Gives Local Radio Stations Ten Times (10X)
the Digital Power that they presently have.
* Metro Radio Stations 400 Watts - Days and Nights
- - - Gives Metro Area Radio Stations 2X~8X
the Digital Power that they presently have.
* Regional Radio Stations 1600 Watts Days and
800 Watts Nights
- - - Gives Regional Radio Stations 2X~3X
the Digital Power that they presently have.

FCC mandate that all new AM/FM Radios :
Made in the USA or Imported into the USA
be "HD" {IBOC} Radios by 2009.

FCC requirement that allAM/FM Radio Stations
be Broadcasting in "HD" {IBOC} Radios by 2010.

Yea, I can see it now - $80 HD/IBOC alarm clock radios, with AM-loop
and externally-mounted FM-dipole antennas!

The irony there is that none of those radios can receive anything.
Maybe a little on FM, but AM forget it.

How true - been to a 7/11 or McDonalds lately? Then there are the ATM
machines that ask up-front "press for English". Now, Bush is letting
in all of the illegal alien truckers! ****, he let Eduaro in!


The truckers have permits; they are not illegal and their entry is a joint
accord of NAFTA.

Invaders, much like yourself, who was going to give up US citizenship just
moments before you got tossed from Ecuador (If indeed that 'story' is true,
which it probably isn't).

I just report what I hear. I occasionally do tune in WADO late at
night when they're playing music (for some odd reason instead of
replaying daytime talk shows). Last night was one such night. Didn't
notice any IBOC noise at all. I just wonder what's up with that

The few times I've listened to 1280 during the day, its IBOC signal
has sometimes been on and sometimes not.

We detected a design issue in the AM exciter, after it wiped out 70% of the
RF modules in the KTNQ transmitter. As a precaution, the units were sent in
fro retrofitting.

PR,

What gets me is when Spanish is the # 1 -or- Default Option
on the ATM and you are required to Push # 2 for English -or-

American Citizens who speak English are being treated like
Second Class Citizens in their very own Country.

And, their 20 year-old trucks have retreads and smoke like hell - the
illegals will truck in more illegals and work for half the wages of
American truckers and drive them out of business - old Bush, all for

Actually, the Mexican truckers are in the US due to an executive
order. In theory, US truckers can now enter Mexico. Of course, I can
imagine the insurance for taking a truck into Mexico is rather high
given the likelihood of it being hijacked.

Um....idiot. This has become a globalized interconnected world.

For all you know, the "non English" speakers are also tourists passing
through and needing an ATM.

Ditto products that have multi-lingual labels. The same product can be
sold in Mexico, USA and Canada without having to print out three
different versions of the label or instruction book.

Yes, the lovely globalized interconnected world. A world which lacks
independence due to being interconnected. The loss of national sovereignty,
loss of restrictions on poor products. etc. I'm sure its such a fine world
with lead tainting your products, lead tainting baby bibs, rotten food,
poisons and lack of restrictions on these products. Just lovely isn't it?
Let them all in and let all the third worlders in. I'm sure that all the
globalist supporters would love to have those same Mexicans move in with
them. Or the Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Africans, etc.

I guess since we no longer have an America, we should sing kumbaya and wear
our togas to the party. I'm sure that when your standard of living decreases
rapidly, you might think otherwise about the greatness of being in this
globalized interconnected world. I'm sure that when Americans go from making
15 to 20 dollars an hour to making 2 an hour, it will be great. I wonder who
is going to foot the bill for Social Security, pensions, infrastructure,
roads, bridges, etc. Is it going to be the Mexican invaders? The Chinese?
The American taxpayers? Those who work and pay taxes? How in the hell do you
propose this infrastructure rebuilding with the loss of much of the economic
and industrial base of America? Who is going to pay all the taxes? The
burger flippers, the service employees, the low wage workers. They don't
have any money. Are the Mexicans going to pay the taxes? How about taxing
China for their slave labor goods?

Or are we on a downward spiral with the loss of our good paying domestic
industry and technical jobs. Exactly who is going to foot the bill. I
suspect it is going to be most of the people in their 20s through 50s and
younger citizens. Nice job guys. I'm sure you'll enjoy their third world
nation you won't have to inherit like the youth of the country.
