I don't know whether you're retarded or a Univision employee (or both),
but this guy is a complete piece of ****. He comes to this group
spouting all kinds of bull**** that is hostile to the interests of the
people here, whines like a baby when he catches hell and says the same
thing over and over and over....all to elicit a reaction of outrage and
indignation on the part of the posters here. He is good at trolling.
I'll give him that. But he's a piece of ****. No one denies that AM is
dying, but in that case let it die with dignity instead of ****ing on
it when it's down.


AM is not a person. There is no dignity in its death, but there is the loss
off tens of thousands of jobs, and the losses to maybe hundreds of thousands
of mutual fund shareholders, insurance companies and pension plans.

Further, whether you agree with me or not, HD is coming and it is time to
discuss whether any of the remaining receiver manufacturers, like ICOM, will
produce receivers or receiver modules for HD. This is going to be the new
reality, and countries like Mexico and Colombia and Brazil in this
Hemisphere are already reviewing or have adopted the standard. Rede Globo in
Brazil has ordered $2 million in HD devices, for example, and plans to
convert all its AMs in the next several years.

You should really be ashamed of yourself.

It's one thing troll a newsgroup. It's not a nice thing, but it's
forgiveable. But to mount a moral high horse and lament the loss of
jobs and pension funds that you are personally, and intentionally,
destroying is beyond rude. It is extremely distasteful, and sad. You
obviously get some sort of 'kick' out of visiting this group, saying
bizarre things, deriding the interests of others and just generally
****ting where other people live. Do you ever wonder why? Why do you
derive more satisfaction out of putting other people down than from
pursing interests of your own? Might be worth a moment's reflection.

Huh? We are trying to preserve the value of tens of billions of dollars
worth of AM stations by keeping them viable for longer.

The facts are that 1) I did not invent HD, 2) I had nothing to do with its
FCC approval and, 3) never thought it was the best system.

However, it is _the_ system and only system because AM does not have the
time for a different one and because any system that is not on the same chip
as the FM digital system will fail automatically.

This is how AM radio in the Western Hemisphere and, probably, Asia is going
to be. If you think reality is in disagreement with your interests, don't
blame me. Go see a psychiatrist.

Do you ever wonder why? Why do you
derive more satisfaction out of putting other people down than from
pursing interests of your own? Might be worth a moment's reflection.


Putting down? Do you have any inkling of how fast AM is losing its economic
viability in the USA? Most of the listeners are over 55, a group no large
advertiser buys, and the younger demos are shrinking each year as the
average age of AM listeners goes up. HD is as good as we are going to get to
have a second chance on keeping AM viable.

And did I forget to mention... in the Spanish / Portuguese equivalent of
Radio World, several of the Brazilian operators were quoted as considering
HD for domestic Short Wave.

You might want me to blame me for that, too.

Oh, my. This is serious. And since all the AM listeners are projected to
become FM listeners, the ad money will similiarly go the FM stations. Will
the FM stations be able to hire some of the current AM workers? Not if
those AM workers die with AM radio, they won't.

And those poor investors? Well, if they're looking ahead, they'll be
selling Clear Channel and buying -- oh, I dunno -- maybe Clear Channel.
