Been listening to KDKA AM radio in digital. What a crappy signal. It
switches back and forth from digital to analog and during the
transition the receiver makes this screech noise that sounds like the
receiver isn’t resolving the digital signal correctly. When in full
digital the high frequencies are so dirty sounding, I guess due to the
slow bit rate, that I have to ask myself, what’s the point? When it
goes back to analog the signal cleans up and sounds great. Tell me
again why would anyone want this?

The people who forced IBOC on this country were billionaire media
moguls who wanted a digital system that would preserve the signal
superiority of their stations -- in other words, a system that would
keep the existing power/quality hierarchy intact.

What they did _not_ want was a new digital band that would open up
many new channels, all with essentially perfect quality and equal
signal-to-noise ratios.

They didn't care very much about whether their IBOC digital system
performed well.

They got what they wanted.

Is CBS really trashing itself or what? 1010, 1020 and 1030 all
destroying each others' signal with IBOC. It's almost like they want to
fail.

I just drove from Best Buy Burbank to Canyon Country and did not have a
single dropout while listening to KROQ-2 on my ipod. I use a Sprint

I repeat; not a single dropout from downtown Burbank to Soledad and Sand.

Are you sure that your problem isn't related to the signal bouncing between
the Pittsburgh Macaroni Co. and Wholey's in the Strip then off the Roberto
Clemente Bridge and then ricochetting around Sliberty and the Sou-side and
finally ending up somewhere in Wilmerding?

So if he's experiencing multipath distortion
then maybe his radio isn't at fault after all?
I get QSB type path deterioration (not multipath) on the KFI 640 signal from
L.A. such that I periodically lose HD sync, but there's no "screeching"
artifact, just the presence or absence of hiss.

The sky wave and the ground wave are at odds with each other. I listen

I get the same phenomena with KNX 1070.
Would like to try KGO 810 but they kill their IBOC at night
before the band opens up that far away.
If you have an HD receiver maybe you could test your reception
of our KOGO 600 up there on your end, It runs IBOC 24/7.

I have a local on 610.

I have 50 kW KGO 810 about 5 miles away, grounded in the same SF Bay
mud as my own ground.

It almost pins my S-meter at minimum 40-over even attenuated, and it
takes a massive effort to hear anything 10 kHz away from it; my
MFJ-1026 works totally overtime to crush the signal even when I use
USB/LSB on narrow and passband. Even worse is another 50 kW blowtorch
just 1.5 miles away on 1100 - yecch! Not only that, but its harmonics
are potent on 2200 and 3300 (farewell, R. Cultural, Guatemala). I
wonder if the 1026 can wipe that 3300 harmonic...

During the day when KGO runs IBOC you've got those twelve and a half kc
sidebands to plug your reception on either side (800/820).

my
MFJ-1026 works totally overtime to crush the signal even when I use

If your canceler is having trouble trying to null something,
about the only recourse is to reorient your sense antenna.

That's another whole different issue;
is it the station that is radiating harmonics,
or some inadequacy in your receiver?

To answer both your and Brenda's questions - I have an Alpha-Delta DX
UItra Multiband dipole and a 50-foot inverted L up about 20 feet.

Obviously, these two antennas will not be a perfect match for all
kinds of noise or nulling a superpower radio station a mere 5 miles
away. However, they do a respectable job - I can kill a lot of noise
with the 1026, and believe me, I have a TON of it. I can make most
local AM stations nearly inaudible with this set up - but KGO and the
thing on 1100 are just too potent. I receive them powerfully with *no
antenna at all* attached. It is hard to overstate the signal of these
monsters at this location. There are two others at 1050 and 1550 that
come close, also both a stone's throw from here.

I am aware of the rectification potential of poor solder joints and
dissimilar metals. It is entirely possible that I have one or both of
these problems after having these antennas up for a decade or so. It
has always been thus, though, and even when I attach a simple wire
directly to the Hi-Z input of my R75. FWIW, only 1100 seems to have
this effect very strongly, and it is better than it used to be (I used
to get it on 4400, 5500 and occasionally 7700).

It's Fox Sports in Lancaster. My IBOC receiver seems to have a very
mushy mediumwave tuner. I'll drag it in here and hook it up to the
longwire. All I've ever been able to get in AM IBOC is KSPN, 710, a 50
KW station in North Hollywood.

I suppose the title of 'first' depends upon how you define
'regularly scheduled' since Reginald Aubrey Fessenden was
undoubtedly the first man to transmit sound (mainly to very
surprised marine spark operators) via radio. That happened in 1900,
eight days before the dawn of the 20th century, and again with
better quality in 1906 -- but Fessenden's transmissions were
irregular experiments, repeated only a few times and not on any kind
of schedule.

It could be argued that Fessenden (who was also a pioneer in the
development of CW) was the inventor of both radiotelephone and
amplitude modulation. He also discovered the heterodyne principle,
very important for all of us here in rec.radio.shortwave!

Well, that's not the point. This is a shortwave group, not a local TV
station news group.

Unless I tune in *on my computer*, I (and 99% of all the people likely
reading this newsgroup) won't know or care what TV news program you
watch, because we are too far away to receive it! So, why would you
mention it?

Doggy is fine; yuor screwy neighbors are fine; your posts about
interesting websites are fine, and your outdoor stump is fine. Those
are interesting things in *your* life, and we are happy to hear of
them because we care about *you*. However, nobody here cares what
time your local news comes on, because we cannot possibly receive it.
You realize this, right? That's why I never tell anyone about my

Cuhulin is one of a kind, he likes old b/w TV programs, he does not
care for new shows or movies. At least that is the general impression
I am getting (judging) from his most 'unusual' remarks! Callsign
prefix 'W' used to be reserved strictly east of the Mississipi;
lately it is not always so indeed.

Been listening to KDKA AM radio in digital

Do you ever hear KBAP Texas?

I've heard WBAP Dallas and WOAI San Antonio.

That's right, my bad - the two big Texas "W"s west of the
Mississippi. I used to hear them quite well from Massachusetts 35
years ago. From California - not so much.

Massachusetts was a great place to hear AM BCB DX. I managed to get
almost every state in the lower 48, including California and
Washington, plus a bunch of Canadians across the prairie, on a Radio
Shack portable using just the internal ferrite bar. Everything east of
the Rockies was a cinch. Had I know then how to loop a wire aorund the
radio for added induction, who knows what else I could have grabbed.

Nobody aims their signals thisaway, I guess...

For people who miss the 10:00 PM WAPT channel 16 tv news, there is a

Cuhulin, you realize that the huge majority of people reading this
will not receive or necessarily have an interest in your local news -

I like old shows too - I'll take a silent movie over anything
post-50's anytime.

The two Texas "W"s - WOAI and WBAP - have been around awhile.
