"No Ford HD Radio for 2009 - Taken-for-a-Ride?"

"Kind of a downer to close out the year, and a possible warning for
the future... a family member works in Detroit on auto designs for
future years, and the audio systems that go in them. During a recent
holiday chat, he informed me that he was just about to wrap up the
work for Ford 2009 models. 'So they have HD tuners, right?' I asked.
Well, no they don't he responded. They are loaded and ready for Sirius
radio, THX sound as an option, many other lovely audio treats, but
unless requested custom by the buyer, HD will not be included in the
2009 audio systems."

"I find this bit of news to be very very troubling. It also adds to my
growing fears that while it 'seemed like a good idea at the time'
spending $250,000 to upgrade our signal to HD was a HUGE waste of time
and money. Sure, we did some much needed upgrading of our transmitter
site, beefed up the infrastructure and wiring, but I think we could
have done it for less than a 1/4 mil."

"It would be less than kind to suggest that we're being taken for a
ride on this, but with virtually no interest from consumers and no
support from industry leaders, it sure feels that way."

Happy New Year 2008 and a . . . Short Wave Goodbye to 2007 !

What major shortwave broadcaster will terminate or significantly reduce
transmission time in 2008?

Best to you in 2008, as well.
*.

What shortwave utility will begin or significantly increase
transmission time in 2008?

Good luck in 2008 with everything except your efforts to destroy the
AM broadcast band.

Changing transmission time? Have they been playing around with the speed
of light and radio waves yet again?

Why, I remember back in 2020, when they first revealed the ability to
produce waves traveling at greater speeds than light. It appears
President Bush approved funding in 2012 with complete support of the
National Security Council, Congress and the Senate having been
eliminated two years previously.
