Yep. We are going to try to save AM. It may not be possible, though.



What will happen to AM if it can't be saved?

Edweenie and his minions think it will just go *poof*, it's gone.

Edweenie is mistaken.

It will slowly die as the existing listeners age and ad revenues decrease.

This guy is unbelievable - what a salesman ! I wonder, if he ever
dabbled in used cars ? Hey bud, we'll see - to try and mandate that
all future AM/FM radios be able to receive/procees IBOC is absurd !
IBOC is going to save AM/FM - what a ****ing joke ! I am sure many
people, including myself, are perfectly happy with AM/FM, as it is; if
anything, new programming formats will "save" the airwaves, not some
crummy new broadcasting transmission technology !

So AM stations become cheaper to buy and thus less corporate influence.
So the problem is?????

What will the death of AM be like? Will we someday turn on our AM radios
and hear nothing but noise and static, much as the surviviors did in any one
of Roger Corman's post apocoplyse movies?

Many talk formats are moving to FM. One in Tallahassee did it this week.
Others in DC, Salt Lake City and Phoenix have or are doing it. What we will
find is a gradual change to pure niche formats (Like KIRN in LA... all
Farsi) and then, probably, its demise as the less competitive signals go
silent.

The religious types and ethnics always seem to be able to make a go of
things nobody else wants.

Well, you can avoid most IBOC interference at the moment by nulling
it away with your no doubt directional antenna. With multiple IBOCs
on the same frequency that won't work, of course. And you may
already be using your null to take out another station on the same
frequency, which hobby will disappear.

Also the IBOC hash is much stronger on the sideband away from the
offending station, so use LSB to listen to 770 hashed by 760's station,
and USB to listen to 750 hashed by 760's station.

It no work! If the hash from 760 is already physically on the 770 frequency then
the 770 frequency is unusable.

And... I just tried it with the problem I have here with WBBM 780 Chicago which runs
HD/IBOC QRM interfering with 790. If I switch to 790 USB I actually get more
hash/noise than I get with 790 LSB.

And yes, I tried it with four receivers, Drake R7, R8, R8A and R8B... all the same.
