Ron, You are hearing the broadcasting disaster known as IBOC...brought to you by Ibiquity. There are about 70 stations now running IBOC. This creates a digital signal for the "wonderful" HD radio that no one wants. It wipes out the adjacent channels on both sides. The FCC is a big fan of IBOC and approved it last year (so we can have higher quality sounding signals on AM). So far, daytime only (except for tests). I can't imagine what it will be like when it gets approved for night use on MW. You can kiss at least +/- 10 khz goodbye for any station running IBOC. Let's hope the marketplace votes "no" on this and IBOC dies a swift death. Russ |

Russ I'm not familiar enough with IBOC at this point to have strong feelings about it one way or another, but I well remember a bit of idiocy making the rounds in the early to mid 70's called "stereo AM". Stereo lo-fi - sheesh. I thought it was an assinine idea then, and I think so now. Evidently, the marketplace agreed, and it died a quick death.

I am listening to 1190 AM on my radio right now for a while and it isn't
a very strong signal,it is fading in and out and I do have my radio turned toward Fort Wayne,Indiana.Is the Art Bell radio show on WOWO right now? It is near the top of the hour now and I suppose the radio station will do a station ID of whatever City it is.I think I will do a www.dogpile.com for,Find Distance and see how far Fort Wayne is from Jackson. cuhulin |
