What Claim do any Mexicanos now have on

Most have none. The "Aztlan" movement, limited to a few thousand, wants to
build a Chicano nation divorced form both Mexico and the US. Chicanos,
though, are not Mexican.

I actually work in radio, and with multiple successful stations. From
your
posts, you don't really understand how the business of radio works.

From your posts, you really don't understand that IBOC = QRM.


HD uses spectrum that is not, in today's environment, generating
significant
listening (fringe signal listening in other words) and uses it to enhance
radio stations so they may better compete in a world with alternate
delivery
paths and an obsession with digital sources. It is, in effect, a
no-brainier
trade of a few cents for many potential dollars.


It's also a no brainer that IBOC = QRM.


Something is only interference if it interferes which listening to something
else. Since there is only a minuscule amount of interest in listening to
distant signals outside their primary coverage areas, for most people there
is no interference at all.

And figure out how to make the HD chip run for more than an hour on a set of
batteries. That is the current problem with HD portables and why there are
none! the next generation chips are in design, though.

I'm going to wait until a true pocket-portable unit comes out....maybe
at an attractive price of say US$100.00 max? Hopefully one that uses
standard AA batts and not some proprietary rechargeable thing like
cell-phones.

And a nice small table-top unit about the size of the Recepter HD, but
at a $100 price - along the lines of the Kloss Tivoli #1.

By then we'll see if this IBOC system will be the future of terrestial
radio.

And THEN I will pounce. And I'm sure many others will, too.

Eventually, consumers won't have a choice. Every new radio will be an
IBOC receiver.

A "burrito" is American, not Mexican.

It is hard to follow syntax when you say such things as the clumsy "mestizo

is Babbelfish quality.

...and yes a burrito is a chicano creation sold primarily in America,

Actually, it appears, much like Chile con Carne, to be an American (and not

As a second follow up, more seriously: he came to the US illegally. He
worked as a cement and mortar carrier in construction in Fresno. Moving to
LA, he continued to work construction, and became an unpaid sidekick to a
morning show on KTNQ in LA, contributing character voices of central
Americans (he is Hondureño). He was finally hired by José Liberman of KWIZ
in the 80's, and Liberman paid to do the legalization of his residency. It
took him over 20 years to get where he is now, working free for the first 4
or 5.

Whether he has money now, he is definitely of the people. On the other hand,
trying to pretend that a Honduran is "raza" failed, even with a $1 million
dollar ad campaign. Ten words out of his mouth, and it is obvious he is not

Since most of my BCB listening is devoted to DXing,
I always confuse the survey folk who call from Beltsville, MD
when I state one of my favorite stations is KKOB (770).


In the recruiting call, they "ask" about your favorite stations to "warm you
up" to survey taking, to show how easy and "fun" it is. They actually do not
record ANY of this... it is just a preamble to get you to accept
participating in the survey, which is written in a booklet and takes a week.

Oh, Arbitron has not been in Beltsville for about 25 years. It moved to
Laurel in the late 70's, and then to Columbia over 15 years ago.

Not that I care about its programming, but that it's such a tricky catch
in San Diego right next to KFMB (760). I have to use sync-detect.
I also wonder what weight my opinion carries to the surveyors when I
often tell them I'm in the 30+ year old upper class demographic, yet
listen to WWV more hours a day than any other station.


Since what you say verbally is not recorded, all they are doing is letting
you get into thw swing of things. Even if they recorded it, someone else
would edit the data and use a lookup tool to determine the validity of the
data.

FWIW: Commercial stations all suck
and the bands would be better off without them.


Which is why 94& of all people 12 or older listen to radio each week, and
the average person spends around 20 weekly hours doing just that.

Our two current FM pirates, FRSD (96.9)
and RadioActive (106.9)
are the best San Diego has to offer.


The folks at 106.5 are aware of RadioActive and have triangulated it and
presented a complaint to the FCC with the full data.

I had a concuño Catracho once,
his Centro American spanish was more like NYC Borinqua than Mexican.


A. It is "Boricua" and it means "puertorriqueño" and is not a dialect or
accent.
B. There is no similarity at all to to the Honduran Spanish accent.
C. There is only one Spanish.
D. There is no Central American accent. A Panamanian accent is as different
from a Guatemalan one as the English of Mobile, AL is from that of Leeds,
England.

Anecdote. I was consultant to the station that had El Cucuy many years ago,
while working at stations in Puerto Rico. I got cassettes of the show to
critique. I would play them in my office, where my staff would come and go,
shaking their heads, saying, "what is that? I can't understand a word." It
was, of course, the Honduran Renán Almendarez Coello, El Cucuy, and the
Boricuas could not understand him.

Sounds almost akin to chop-suey (basically a slop made out of leftovers
that was concoted in an American restaurant).

Whoever came up with burritos and meat & chili, thank you! I don't
care. It's got meat, beans, and a side of rice.

How can you go wrong?????

Thanks David, now you got my mouth watering. :-D


What is really funny is when a Mexican American who has grown up in the US
goes to Mexico... someplace in the hinterlands... and finds that they have
no burritos and think you are asking for a cooked baby quadruped. Or the
Tejano who finds that Chili is more prevalent at Wendy's (sans the side of
fingers) than in Mexico.

I disagree. Take a look at the Tivoli Model 1 - a sample of which I'm
a proud owner.

Would you have seen a small radio like that have the kind of sound
quality that it does? That's been a big improvement.

Years ago, to get hi-fi sound, you would have needed a console with a
12" or 15" speaker. Or a table-top with at least an 8" speaker.

To squeeze that kind of quality out of a 3" driver back then....I don't
know if it was possible.

Then there's the FM tuner section - compare it with one of those
drifty, deaf Sarkes-Tarzian or Granco FM units from the 60s? Not even
close.



How about a more fair comparison: The KLH Model 21.

I have one of these, and it's still going strong, no repairs ever.
And it's only 45 years old!

What a flashback! My first 'hi-fi' radio.
Got turned on to it back when I had a Singer record player and learned
that KLH was the manufacturer who also had several other items in their
line of compact audio equipment.


Well, the Tivoli Model One should have been a real flashback, modeled
to look like a 2/3 scale Model 21 -- the driver is only a fraction of
an inch smaller in diameter, but the Model 21 has a real acoustic
suspension speaker and (gasp!) high-fidelity from *transistors!*

My point, of course, is while the Tivoli is a fine radio, it's more a
modern reprise on Kloss' idea of a low-cost, high fidelity radio for
anywhere in the house.

Unfortunately, I've read some rumblings about its durability -- we'll
see how mine is performing in 2045.

Eric,

What sort of rumblings have you heard? I do remember my first one
flaking out on its FM tuner. It was still under warranty (almost a
month before expiring) and I sent it to Tivoli.

They sent a new radio. That was about three or four years ago. It's
been OK, so far.

I do remember the switches on the first generation radios were a bit
stiff.

Apparently they are using a different type of switch because this one
doesn't require so much wrist-twisting.
