Been thinking about HD radio again and decided why the comparison of
iBiquity's hybrid digital system to FM makes me feel a little uneasy.
Kind-a like when you eat too many sugary donuts at one time and then
feel the need to go to the bathroom real fast.

At the time, Edwin Armstrong's FM was a new and very usable technology
that didn't displace or replace any current system. *Nobody lost
anything. * You could buy it or not, it was your choice. *The
comparison by iBiquity and other HD apologists is misleading and
nothing more than a sales pitch.

Armstrong must be turning over in his grave. He was a real engineer.
To place Struble or iBiquity with Armstrong's achievement is self-
serving * Struble you should be ashamed of yourself - Armstrong your
not. *There, I went to the bathroom.

It's amusing that HD cheerleaders compare HD to the advent of FM -
except that there are a zillion other technologies that didn't exist
as competitors to FM 35 years ago.
