You, on the other hand, are a simply a nutcase with a radio waiting for the VA to discover you ought to be kept under close watch in a facility. At least you are not a ham, or you would be transmitting your hatred, racism and bile. Don't forget that he's got a few thousand rounds of Chinese ammunition for his assault rifles. The VA will wait until it's too late to talk him down from the campus water tower. It's sad really...this lunacy could have easily been prevented from going that far. It's time to get mandatory sanity tests for militia members. mike |

I don't see my being above average as important to this discussion. The average listener does not spend any time thinking about radio. It is just "there." AMBCB has good fidelity and so does FM. AMBCB is not stereo but I don't care as I listen to talk radio and news on that band. I don't spend much time with FM. Generally I listen to AMBCB, short wave, and spend time on the Internet for news. I don't think it is the sound as much as FM is in stereo. FM stereo was permitted in 1960, and it took 3 years to get to 100 stations. It had zero audience impact then. What made FM work was when the FCC madated the end to simulcasting, and suddenly a thousand or so new formats came on all over America, most with no commercials... in an era when AM had 18 minutes an hour on nearly every station. There are a number of AM stations playing music but I don't listen to them. There are news stations like KNS besides the talkers. Those that play music play standards or ethnic fare for the majority of cases. 65+ audience. Sorry, but you're still BUSTED. |

AMBCB sounds just fine. Even when music is available on FM, such as Mexico (loads of music stations still there) the younger audience does not listen. In fact, FM listening in Mexico is higher than that of the US! It is nearly all about quality of the sound, not the programming... because most Mexican cities have more viable AM signals than US cities do. Maybe it is just that FM is stereo. Most FM listening in the US is not stereo. Ok then what is the reason? The reason is not sound quality because it is OK for the program material. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Snip I think plenty of people think about AM radio. What about all the people that listen to talk radio? They don't think about it? What about all the people that look to AM radio for news and weather and traffic reports? Maybe this is an effort to kill talk radio where people can get the political right point of view. The leftists have TV, newspapers, and FM covered. It's only on AM band that Air America can't make it. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

You just are here to insult others. At least DX had a brief exchange about Niger today. You don't apport anything. LOL! You're just mad because you got caught today with your hand in the cookie jar. Huh? No such thing. All you have done is typed "BUSTED" over and over. |

You said you had two (2). Same place the first one is. Also have the remains of an R390, too. |

"D Peter Maus" wrote in message ... The difference being that the CD was an optional outlet to content, and that the same desirable content was still available through previous technology. If you didn't have a CD player, you didn't get LP's full of digital hash. That's my point, he With the current arrangement, I can't get the content of my choice--LOCAL content, not out of market content--because it's covered up with digital rash from offending stations testing HD. And the digital solution is not widely available for at least another month and a half. This after a year's worth of escalating HD interference. We have seen nothing like this. We know where our diary mentions come from and the signal is inot impaired in areas where currently we have listeners. In fact, listening is up (50% increase in very little is still very little, though) since HD has been active. Leaving me, and much of Lake County to move to alternatives. That seems like it's pretty shortsighted thinking. Unless the goal is to blow off existing listeners before creating new radio content under HD. Why is it that the industry is so loathe to address that. So far, you've not addressed that issue, yourself, here. Which raises the spectre that I, and my neighbors, are just to be casualties of new technology. Worth little. Valued less. What are the specifics? Which stations are interfered with inside the metro. The fact that no one wants to address this indicates some mindsets that are exactly the reason corporations, and media corporations especially, have become so reviled by street level citizens. We don't matter. Our complaints, legitimate complaints now, are not only not addressed, but effectively stonewalled by the unwillingness to actually acknowledge that a problem exists. When we make any change, we spend a lot of time on the street listening. Other companies should do the same. This is what's driving so many of this newsgroup to abuse in these discussions....the problems...the REAL problems associated with the implementation of AM-HD aren't being addressed, ie, interference with local stations. And questions about why we don't matter go largely unaddressed....in favor of data about contours vs ratings, and monetizable listeners. The only think we are interested in today is listening inside our home metro. This comes, as I have metioned in posts to Mr. Dresser, as a direct consequence of the FCC policies for decades of encouraging local service by forcing local content, keeping power levels very low as national pollicy, and by not recognizing that most AMs have seen the market outgrow the signal. So, let me put it this way....WLS is strong in Lake County. Even though the signal is not 15mv/m. Lake County listenership is high, and WLS is a strong radio station, here. And yet, here, HD rash has been encroaching on WLS, to the degree that it's now sometimes virtually impossible to hear, much less enjoy....and this HD rash is coming from another radio station. You telling me this is acceptable? Even when WLS, itself is NOT transmitting HD and so no digital solution is available? (the C-Quam pilot is still lit and the station is still in stereo, even as of 00:30 UTC today. What station? I'm curious about this... Why is no one addressing this? This is not DX. This is not skywave. It's LOCAL. And it's local interference. With all due respect, David...why can't you address THIS? If you tell me the station, I can ask our local engineer, who is very strong on RF issues. from the Navy. And we've shared some light moments, on USENet in the past, but you're trying even MY patience. And I'm not your adversary. This is not an easy discussion, and the first step is accepting that AM will not exist in 10 years or less if something is not done. There is no other solution than HD. Either it works, or the band dies. Nobody is coming into the party, and the ones already there are undesirable to advertisers. |

When Peter gives me them, I will have our Chicago DoE check, and meybe something interesting will come from this. He's been given something to sell, and by god he's gonna sell it to you, me, and everyone else, whether we like it or not. I have not been given anything to sell. However, I believe AM is dead unless HD works. |
