And, he writes yet again... Two checks this evening after dark show that the 1380 is not using IBOC at night, as of tonight anyway. So thats 0 for 5 now, in the TPA market. Someone mentioned the "staggered rollout" by CCU (which would not necessarily apply to Disney, or Mega) but it was not clear if this meant stations first turning on HD, or if it meant those beginning night ops, who had already turned it on for day use. I took it to be the former, but who knows? In any event, it is interesting that there appears to be such a reluctance of so many stations to not run it (nights) at this time. Do groups of operators in a given market agree among themselves to not run it? There's gotta be a story here that we aren't hearing about. - Bob, TPAh, Flah, still having 90+ afternoon temps and daily lightning storms. Hope our 120+days/year of lightning, making us the lightning capital of North America, will end soon. Bah. _______________________________________________ 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
