My experience from when I lived in eastern California is that Tempe (it was still KNIX back then) puts a pretty reliable analog signal up that way at night, so there's no reason to expect that its IBOC carriers wouldn't go that far, too. I'd be very interested in knowing how much analog signal Marty gets at night from KLIV 1590 San Jose, and whether KMIK's sidebands cause it any interference to that signal. This is all experimental at this point, especially for the broadcasters trying it, and it's safe to say that nobody knows for sure just how much damage night IBOC will cause in the real world. (I agree with the "let the chips fall where they may" approach - but I fear there won't be enough broadcasters lighting up at night to offer a full demonstration of how bad it might get.) And I reiterate my hope that, for the good of the DX hobby, we can all refrain from getting personal about any of this. It's not worth the ill will it engenders. s _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
