I'm sure WBZ's > sales department will not be thrilled with that realization. Yeah but... Right now, they are sending far less power than they are allowed. Really, right now, we don't know for sure how far the signal will go when it gets powered up. I do remember the report though where it was shown to be less. I am waiting for the real world thing to happen but I expect total digital some time in the next 5-10 years. This morning, I had hash from hell coming from KUTR 820 in Taylorsville, UT and KOA in Denver. I figured that if I was going to be able to decode DX IBOC, this would have been it. Sadly, it didn't decode. The analog was fine though. Its just that the digital sidebands were huge but not enough to decode.

Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC
Kevin, IBOC does not have static. True. However, there often is no signal either. If analog goes away, then AM radio goes away. There is no coverage with IBOC. You drive under powerlines, the digital goes away. It just is not there. In the future, I am not sure if radio will have many people listening anyway. Especially AM, when there are so many choices. With me, as a DXer, when driving my 1997 Dodge Carivan, I generally listen to cassette. In the 89 Dodge I use for work, I only have AM & FM, so I listen to the radio there. Like last night, I bought "Vivo", the 2000 Concert of Luiz Migel in Monterrey, Mexico. A great concert. I liked it so much, I recorded the audio soundtrack off the DVD to play in the van on cassette. My relatives listen to either CD or XM Radio in their cars. With so many choices, radio is not a high priority for most people. As my old friend Chuck Boehnke used to say. "Radio isn't broke, so don't fix it". A truer statement could not have been made. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC
Keith, If 50 KW stations (5 KW IBOC) cannot cover their area, it would be total suiside to drop analog. The station might as well be turned off and the employees go home.

I think that it was inevitable that it was going to start but when real world situations occur then I think that the move to all digital on MW will be a long slow process if it ever happens. By the time that decision happens there will be too many other delivery systems in place for the content that is now deliivered on MW. I think FM will happen but even there it will not happen for at least 10 years (I remember reading those comments somewhere in RW from people in the industry). > *IF* people still listen to radio, they sure aren't DXers and if they > somehow wander on to the AM band, and they hear AM that sounds ok and > has no static, they actually might like it.

Once again real world situations will dictate whether it will work or not. When Norbert has trouble with WBZ's HD signal (no HD at all) at approximately 45 miles that spells trouble. I'm sure WBZ's sales department will not be thrilled with that realization. So picture this...MW goes all digital and Someone in SE Mass will wonder what the hell happened to WBZ even if they have an HD radio. Like I've said before I have trouble with a 5kw HD signal only 15 or so miles from me. All the odds are stacked against MW HD...terrible coverage area...the need for some sort of external antenna to receive a 5kw signal at more than 15 miles...I ain't gonna happen. > > People, the average ones, they will like it because there is no > static. They only will listen though if the programming is good. > Nothing can fix that with a digital signal. Sure they won't have any signal either unless they are within a very short distance from the transmitter. The continued argument "Just turn off analog" seems rather peevish and IMHO does little to promote our hobby. Granted that hobby may change or not be around in 5 or 10 years but the reason just won't be because of HD.

Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC, from the broadcasters' mailing list
Keith & Kevin, Comments would not have made any difference. The FCC has to ask for them. That is in the rules. Like so many things, they had made up their minds long before anyway. Second, with maybe 1,000 MW DXers in the US (If that many), we don't count. We don't count as listeners, as in most cases we are not listening to that station as a local. There are many reasons. Like Keith said, this would have happened anyway. If they want IBOC, they are going to get IBOC. The only way this will end, if it is not supported by the sale of the radios and interference complaints from other stations. As I have said before, the NAB gets what they want, like so many other things our government does.

Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC, from the broadcasters' mailing list
Keith, I agree, IBOC will no be mandated. It wont be popular enough to be mandated. The stations are not going to shoot themselves in the foot. The only way that IBOC will win out is that people have to buy the radios and there in no interference and we know those are big issues. It will go the way of Quad. At least AM Stereo still exists for a few stations, especially in Canada. I still get some on the radio in the 89 Dodge Van. The only radio I have that gets AM Stereo.

[IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC
Keith This is where I am. The train has left the station. I figure that there were some who had a similar situation when the FCC wanted to move FM from the 45 MHz band to the current location. Once it started on the way to being moved, it wasn't going to stop. Those who had old Armstrong band radios had to get one that got the new band if they wanted to hear FM. Total digital is inevitable. If it was ever going to be stopped, it would have been during the commenting period and it would have taken a monstrous number of comments to stop it. *IF* people still listen to radio, they sure aren't DXers and if they somehow wander on to the AM band, and they hear AM that sounds ok and has no static, they actually might like it. Who knows if MW IBOC will DX? We do know that digital radio is not so affected by your TV with the noisy power supply, the guy behind your house with an arc welder, or even dimmer switches and touch lamps. People, the average ones, they will like it because there is no static. They only will listen though if the programming is good. Nothing can fix that with a digital signal. I complained about it to the FCC long and hard, but the train is gone. Digital is here. We aren't going to change it.

[IRCA] NE Oregon TPs Friday morning
For the past week or so, 1566 HLAZ continues to be heard early each morning, at weak to medium level, sometimes for several minutes at a time. 1235 utc is the general time I've been hearing it, with sometimes another short enhancement an hour later. This morning 828 also heard poor/weak level at 1340 utc. Compared to other recent mornings, this morning was noticeably poorer. 73, Steve NE Oregon ___ 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

[IRCA] TPs for 30 March
An average type of morning here. Some decent audio at times from the powerful Japanese stations, with 693 doing particularly well this morning. but no other audio noted. Elsewhere, not too much exciting. Seemingly a mix of DU and TP carriers. Excluding the big Japanese channels, the strongest ones were on the upper end of the dial again, with 1521, 1548, 1566, and 1575 having pretty substantial carriers. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ 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
