Re: [IRCA] Another Blight on the AM Landscape
Might WWVA have gone iBLOC to avoid cancellation troubles w/iNiquity? Ancient History, Chapter 9832 - President Nixon closed many New England Navy bases following '72 reelection for old tiresome reasons. Prior to AUG '74 closure, Naval Auxilliary Landing Field, Charlestown, Rhode Island's three runways were repaved to avoid harsh contractual penalties. This pleased the Swells who summered adjacent to NALF Charlietown - no more droning S-2F's would e'er again darken their seaside soirees. Incorrigible gearheads including undersigned scribbling dingbat delighted as well - three long smooth drag strips upon which to field test MOPAR 383's similar eco-insensitive cars. Did WQXR classics onna Chrysler AM make going transonic all the more memorable? Why yes, they did. Whither iBLOC? Will it go the way of NALF Charlietown? Or, given the new regime's affinity for the Command Economy and congenital yearning for the control it yields, will iBLOC rise yet again - to the pleasure of a few and disheartening of many?

Check out Jerry del Colliano's blog and that of John Gorman, two radio pundits who view HD as at best a costly blunder. It's no longer merely we 'DX'ers' - a group specifically targeted and 'demonized' by Robert J. Struble of _www.ibiquity.com_ (http://www.ibiquity.com) - who express concern about jamming. Many others caught the stench of State Sponsored Jamming and they're spreading the truth about the HD 'carny shill'. HD radio sales are grossly inflated. HD cheerleaders omit the fact, many are returned by disappointed customers. Many were purchased by broadcast employees who had to show solidarity - or hit the road. People are dismayed by HD gangsters' demand that we discard billions of radios worth trillions of dollars and buy HD stooge radios which, as Estimado Healy well illustrates, are deafer than a fencepost in a pile of pig plop - a fitting repository for this puddle of lies masquerading as innovation. HD as innovation? My foot. Every modulation advance such as FM Stereo - to which HD cheerleaders compare their garbage system - has been backward compatible. HD is not only backward incompatible, it's backward-destructive. Every modulation advance carried more information over less bandwidth. HD eats acres of spectrum to carry vapid garbage - just like a slicked up East Bloc Jammer. That's why HD regardless of whether it prevails, fools no one. According to Bridge Ratings, the more people learn about HD jamming the more they reject it. No one wants it except a few BigCorpseorate shonks who're presently the laughing stock of the industry. Don't take my word for it. Check out del Colliano, Gorman, hdradiofarce, and many others. For that matter, check out the stock prices of the biggest HD radio boosters. What a show of investor confidence, not! Many now realize HD jamming conveniently jams competitors to ruin. They're increasingly seeing through the too-clever-by-half ploy to deny new licenses on grounds the bands are saturated with iBLOC noise - the very jamming these greaseball shonks straightfacedly deny. They can't have it both ways. Either HD doesn't jam, or it does and therefore no new licenses can be given. The Mob operates the same way.

Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, I try to limit comments on IBOC to once a month or so. Here's a current bit.. Recently I helped install IBOC at a local AM station (Infidel! Infidel!). It was a rather interesting and informative job. We all know about the adjacent channel trash that is put out by design. What is not publicized are the undesired sidebands caused by mixing products beyond that first adjacent. This job had sidebands at around +/-25KHz that were about 65db down though perfectly legal in the mask that the FCC mandates. This makes hearing a third adjacent station in that area of the transmitter site quite unpleasant. It does carry a fair distance and is visible on my home SDR-14. There were also wider sidebands further out than that of consequence. All this IBOC noise is additive and destructive to the band. Since a third adjacent can be geographically close, it may be more of an issue than we realize. It can raise the overall noise floor. I have to wonder if my local 1320 station has damage from local 1290 IBOC which is 24/7. Another thing that came out of this is that not all antenna systems can be made compatible. Night pattern in this place was too narrowband. The IBOC carriers were there and as noisy as ever. The distortion caused by the narrowband antenna system prevented the receiver from decoding them even in the transmitter building (!). Neither of my radios would decode it even a few miles away. It just flat out wouldn't work. The consultant spent a lot of time on that system and got it as good as it can be. I'm not convinced that even all digital mode would work on this system. The bottom line of all this is that a significant fraction of AM stations may never be able to implement IBOC. Therefore, either all those stations eventually fail or IBOC in general fails. Mutually exclusive. I should also mention that the labor costs for all this is far greater than many stations can handle. Sales of IBOC receivers isn't exactly as they present. Let's face it, how many DXers have bought the Sony XDR-F1HD because it's a stellar analog receiver and not because they want HD capability? And how many HD radios are factory equipped in cars, not because the buyer wanted it? And how many are bought by the industry itself?

Re: [IRCA] IBOC push
Among the many odious 90s legacies, the 'Business Model'. Old method for making it?Simple, 'be available, greet customers, watch the books'. 'New Economy' BizModels were cooked by 'incredibly hard working teams of very, very, very smart people' perpetually 'sharpening their skills.' These skills consist of relieving unwary consumers of hard won assets, then backpedalling to avoid legal consequences. New Economy bizmodels trace to one from antiquity: The Gimmick. 'Buy now or pay dearly later'? Isn't that New Economy Speak for: Cough it up, jerk? BigRadio CEO's are intelligent people who believe listeneners are stupid. If we 'go HD', we corroborate their quaint arrogant notion. Handing money to anyone associated with HD is like handing money to crack addicts. Of late, HD gangsters dismiss interference objections by calling those who raise them, 'anti-HD conspiracy theorists'. How very imaginative of them. iNiquity and its BigRadio pallies are all done.

Re: [IRCA] Police band radio on medium wave freqs
From family homestead at Pt. Judith, RI, regularly heard NH SP Troop B, if recall correctly, near Manchester Airport occasionally Concord, but not Troop F transmitter on Mt. Washington. When driving in NH, heard most lo-band SP's. Vacationed for years at Balsams in Dixville Notch. Hotel didn't mind shot of coil wire discretely hung from high room window, great sigs from all over, daytime copy of WABC 770 WQXR 1560. KCA 999 on 156.09 well heard throughout NH while driving. This mighta been what I heard from Providence, OCT '68, ca. 1800 KHz? If not them, another PD identifying qth as NH. Didn't consider it remarkable at time, as lacked knowledge on subject, also my Nova-Tech Pilot II tuning scale had 'police' imprinted in range, so figured set was working fine. BC-200XLT w/telescopic whip or regular duck antler pulled NH SP Troop F Twin Mountain, transmitting from Mt. Washington w/ease, along w/Troop E Moultonboro, and several others, while up in Dixville Notch. Reportedly NH SP has switched to VHF Hi digital, after dismal foray into 800 megs which didn't quite take to mountainous terrain. Didn't quite see need to shift from lo-band, nor did troopers I asked about it some years ago, during Troop F tour.

[IRCA] Radio World this week; 24 0100Z DEC 07; PVZ
Radio World this week features article by Engineer Larry Lankgord. Estimado Maximo Langford elegantly deconstructs the HD Mythos both from technical and human visceral aspects. Essential reading from a man whose mild mannered prose proves most effective. R/W also features yet another regurgitation new hunks 'n chunks of detritus from Crawford Broadcasting. You can cut the hubris, sanctimony, and blather with a chainsaw in this gem, which reprises false claim, radio must become the internet, and vice versa. This is vintage 1990's pathologically tortured reasoning from the 1990s, a decade lorded over by the 'a pig is a tree is a man' gang. Langford's is succinct and effective, whereas Crawford is manipulative, defective, incomplete, misleading, and pressured. Meanwhile, anyone notice HD consumer sales this season? Any? Right, HD Cheerleader Snappy Dissembling # 2857 - A.122 (c): HD is a twenty year turn around... And the farmer took another load away. Lastly, Radio World Engineering front page headline - What are we doing to ourselves?, written by engineers implementing HD, at long last acknowledging iBLOC's 'little dividends' - jamming, truncated range, 'seedy quality audio', u.s.w... What? What you ask? Why ask now? Now that you've estranged those who long ago noted HD's myriad fatal flaws? Kool-Aid taste funny? No time to question.

Re: [IRCA] OT: Bernie Ward KGO-810 indicted
Noted. A comfort. Many nations boast high conviction rates. Like swimming pools to home resale price, sometimes a virtue, sometimes not. 'Setting sights' on citizens and dispensing justice aren't necessarily synonymous. Google 'Agent Paul Rico' and 'Zip Connolly' to discover how professionals targeted the innocent so that protected murderers could prosper. High conviction rates stole decades of innocent men's lives. Kiddie Porn is a global racket, far greater than Bernie Ward, himself just a high-profile 'resume builder' for an ambitious prosecutorial team. Cui bono? Why do you suppose pedophile cases went no further up the pyramid than parish priests? The answer may lie forty miles south of Boston, perhaps due to the actions of a judge who moonlights as GTMO tribunalist. Seems continued ped-suits didn't 'help our culture', as he so expressed. our culture? What culture? Mr. Ward of late was debunking the right-left repub-demo paradigm.

To its credit, Radio World this week published several letters which debunk HD. Front page news, Bob Savage of WYSL 'gripes' about iBLOC interference. 'Gripes', eh? How clever. Raise legit concerns about criminal behavior, and you're 'griping'? Do tell. Since '92, the evolving globaloney kleptocracy is best viewed through a forensic lens. The 80's was about trickle down economics. 90s was about trickle down criminality. By example, John Gorman addresses Clear Channel's mutual scamming in his blog today. When a news periodical labels good faith concerns re unlawful destructive interference, 'gripes', it demonstrates Disproportionate Indignation. TeamBLOC defines Disproportionage Indignation. Express concerns re interference,TeamBLOC attacks you, lies, pouts, then threatens. Ask them a question, they scream - and attack you. Vintage criminal tactics. Shakedown artists evince Disproportionate Indignation when honest shopkeepers refuse to pay 'insurance' to keep windows from getting smashed. Bob Savage isn't 'griping'. He's doing what TeamBLOC's lickspittle FCC should long ago have done - stop iBLOC. Given BigRadio's sinking stock prices, will TeamBLOC invoke Disproportionate Indignation and blame their self-inflicted demise on 'IBOC Haters and their analog terrorist mafia'? Listen to their language. Good investigators, be they cops, attorneys, clinicians, closely listen to language. Disproportionate Indignation, blame-shifting, denial of interference, and exagerated if not outright false claims mark TeamBLOC. TeamBLOC from the outset, along with its garbage techonology, has always sounded like a cheap pack of cheaszey shell game hucksters. z paul vincent zecchino manasota key, florida **Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

Re: [IRCA] am iboc
Isn't this a beautiful report? It proves old Boston pal Dave Fitzgerald's premise. Filmgoers and radio listeners needn't be expert. They know what looks and sounds good and what doesn't. Lay audiences make or break films and radio programs with uncanny accuracy. Can't you just hear HD's barking moonbats on Radio-Info? A young man of twenty listens to radio and expresses interest in air work? How can this be? TeamBLOC shill parrots steadfastly claim young people don't listen to radio. Well, here's one who does. How will they talk their way outa this? Perhaps it's time for them to come clean - or shut up. As is increasingly being said, it's over. HD's window of opportunity is long past. TeamBLOC's harebrained dingbat scheme to leave jammers on so as to 'bring listeners around' to 'our inevitable digital future' will only backfire worse than already it has. Pull the plug.

Good signs. Would imagine WPRO still has high RI profile. Recently hired Vincent A. 'Buddy' Cianci as talk host. Notwithstanding TeamBLOC's breathless claims that noone listen to radio, apparently PRO believes people do, and more of them will listen to Buddy. PRO long considered itself an innovator in RI radio. So, for WPRO to so quickly board the good ship DumpBLOC makes quite a statement. Hopefully, more broadcasters will resist TeamBLOC's undue influence and do likewise. z **Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

Re: [IRCA] am iboc
Band trashing is a 'game the marketplace' strategy used by Wall Street. Continue trashing until both listeners and analog broadcasters capitulate to HD. That's the game. Compare w/squatting. Some mucolone builds a shack in the middle of nowhere. Depending upon state, after as little as seven years, provided none objected, property became his. In RI elsewhere this applies to casual trespassers. Black Point, N of Scarborough Beach, Narragansett, became cause celebre, late 80s. Former Lownes Estate, desolate property ran half mile along Atlantic, spectacular. Fishermen, lovers, wild-eyed DX fiends, half-gassed campers, birdwatchers, spastics, lunatics, the walking dead, traversed this magnificent spot wore a path along shoreline. Bent-nose developers tried to develop it. Naturalists and other highly dangerous subversives fought them in court. Time-worn path at waters' edge belonged to the people, so said state law. Some trifling nonsense about public riparian and littoral rights. Yeah. Trifling. Friend of ours on zoning board questioned these nice 'developers', a federal judge among them. Our friend was run off the road and seriously injured, by sheer coincidence, surely. Nice crowd. 'Developers' eventually were reimbursed by the state of RI for the land, public still frequents the property. Are HD shonks 'gaming the market' by applying inapplicable squatters' rights concepts to RF spectrum? Hey, why not? Wasn't 'everybody does it' one among many twisted slogans blatted by wretched 90s thugs? TeamBLOC squats on public airwaves with vague approval of FCC. Public doesn't object, after a while, TeamBLOC's' adverse posession becomes fact. It won't work. Truth to TeamBLOC is like penicillin to syphilis. For proof, check out radio-info board. The same few HD barking moonbats hold court, blustering at all who question St. iBLOC the Analog Slayer. They sound like moronic thugs, albeit without the con-man's natural charm.

Re: [IRCA] am iboc
Right - For several years, engineers and other broadcast personnel privately expressed concerns about both elements of undue influence, deception and coercion, exerted against them to install and/or never speak disparagingly of St. HD the iBLOC. In short, install HD or face eternal blackballing, pretend it doesn't jam, make believe HD audio doesn't sound harsh or cause listener fatigue, and always sing high praises to it. Engineers finally cannot stomach any more of this coercive, putrid, rancid sham. If HD were half so good as its sleazy promoters claim, the thing would have sold itself. Instead, consumers smell this steam-dog dump a mile out, and skirt it. Many radio personnel have stood up to HD's spineless disingenuous bullies, and are coming forward to describe the unsavory tactics and questionable individuals who seem pathologically obsessed with using HD to loot the public trust. Some state plainly, beyond jamming, what most offends about HD is deception, nothing about HD is on the level. HD promoters blat fanciful tales of its virtues and vehemently deny obvious interference. They bristle at routine questions. Rather than provide straightforward answers, they answer tersely, with silence, lies, and threats. Suspects interrogated evince the same behavior. Why trust them? How can we? Thre is no consumer interest in HD. Marketing surveys indicate that as more people learn about HD, the more they reject it. The HD gang, too clever by half, made the classic perp's mistake. They overestimated their cunning and presumed citizens to be stupid, feckless dumbells who enjoy surrendering wealth and liberty to BigKorpseorate greaszeballs. paul vincent zecchino pvz manalog key, fl ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ 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] WLAC-1500 IBOC QUESTION
Willis - Re WLAC iBLOC, dunno, haven't checked last couple days. Will do so. iNiquity's li'l jammer spews noise all over M' Key from below 1500 to above 1520. At times you can tune lower sideband of WENG 1530 to hear 'LAC's hash wafting in, in same manner as the complex albeit familiar fragrance would emanate from open sewer ducts jutting conspicuously from Mr. Vanderbilt's Newport, RI, The Breakers, into the Atlantic would gently waft thru open windows, to the thorough enchantment of his summer banquet guests. We no longer allow people to discharge raw sewage into open waters, no matter how stinking rich, hubristic, and important they think they are. Why do we allow a similar bunch of greaszeballs to pollute the RF spectrum, to the annoyance of listeners in other countries? Oh, sorry, forgot, we've 'no business listening to out of contour stations.' When they quacked about 'reinventing government', what they actually meant was, 'making it up as we bullshale along'. What an achievement, jamming 50 KHz at a thousand miles! What a great way to deny people vital information. Wonder what they'll really use HD for, since it's obviously seen as an imbecillic joke by consumers? Will look around 1500 - 1520 tonight, tomorrow, see what's what. As many say of other stations who took the HD soup, WLAC's iBLOC does a workmanlike job of 'masking' their analog audio. Long listened to them here at night, couple good talk programs.

Re: [IRCA] IBOC battle begins
Craig - Concur. Big Radio's S/Bag PR job offends moreso than its iBLOCkhead jamming. PR jobs belie ulterior motives. HD ginks preach the virtues of an inane jammer to one another rather than admit the obvious - citizens quit listening. Youtube, pirate broadcasters, LPFM's, LPAM's, WiFi, iPods, other consumer-driven media posess intrinsic veracity which attracts citizens and incites BigFatRadio's avaricious manipulative bloviators to blind jealousy.

Re: [IRCA] [lbi-dx] What are these?
One can accomplish wonders by cranking back RF Gain centering BFO in middle of upper or lower sideband. When purchased first R-390A R-388, '81, The Men of Wisdom solemnly intoned with great finality, these sets lacked product detectors, thus couldn't receive SSB. Consummate gentleman Phil Selotti, of Fair Radio, from whom I'd purchased sets, his adroit tech Don Gouin, and I enjoyed brief chuckle over this sage 'wisdom'. Phil and Don, when purchased first of many 390's '388s, explained how to reduce RF Gain center BFO in U or LSB, so as to enjoy clear SSB. They were right. The Men of Great Wisdom were befuddled. SSB was studio quality. Though it requires slight dial riding, one can clear up AM BCBs experiencing selective fading or hvy ix. Center BFO in U or LSB, reduce RF, hit narrow filter. Set emulates SYNC Detector to reduce selective fading interference. Fun, besides. And no 'HD Radio' light to rudely distract one from listening. z z ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ 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] It's more than IBOC..
Craig - Agree. iBLOC is not benign, despite inane apologists who say in this week's Radio World, HD must jamm another fifteen years because, like the computer, people will be slow to appreciate its full value. Can't these hinkies ever tell the truth? People recognized the computer's value immediately. They bought one after the other, each successive unit better than its predecessor. They saw the value and tolerated the slow progress of the machines. Comparing HD to computers is, well, par for the TeamBLOC course. Consumers recognize HD for what it does - jam stations they wish to hear and throw on some mediocre streams as a booby prize, as vapid shill parrots prattle on and on. This week's Radio World features telling guest editorial by Greg Smith. If BigKorpseorate KronyKasters are smart, they'll take it to heart and recommend their shill parrots at radio-info.com do likewise. But, as with everything HD, stupid is as stupid does. One can hear die-hard cheerleaders even now, deriding Mr. Smith and cheering their great digital jalopy, as radio slowly grinds its main bearings to filings in a sea of greaszy FCC/RIAA payola manipulations and cold listener apathy. HD, as with corkscrew-tailed twin, BPL, serves the interests of those who exist in shadows, having an eye for tyranny but not the stomach to admit to such. z paul vincent zecchino manawormy key, fl 'gusanos y los parasitos! los parasitos y los hijos de los parasitos!' - 'dr.' fidel castro-ruz, The Good Shepherd c. 2006 ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ 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] NAB wants it both ways
What's worse? Past is prologue, that's what. They made the worst possible choice. Now, they'll dig in. Isn't this the 90s Model? From among many good roads, choose the road to perdition. Chris Alexander in R/W this week, states in non-sequiturial fashion, as if to placate interference concerns, pro-iBLOC gang will make revisions as needed. OK. Let's have at it, shall we, old sport? Right. What revisions? iBLOC eats one hundred percent of time and frequency domain. Even at low power, it jams at great distance yet cannot be decoded at short range. What fix? What mod? If it's is so simple, why not fix it now? As others note, you can lower the power. It won't cut interference, but it will limit decodable range to the transmitter room. - Or - Turn off this turkey, as WABC execs recently stated would be the ideal fix. - Or - Dr. Zecchino's Rx? You ask? You receive, Dr. Zecchino's Rx: Greasze off - yet again - FCC. Gain your ends. Dump analog. Go all digital, full snot. When listeners complain, adhere to HD Tradition. Tell them, We're going digital! Get over it! Tell millions of listeners to junk their radios and buy HD Stooge sets. Wasn't that the quietly hoped for outcome of this hinky plan to jam one's way to riches and control? Wanna slay the analog beast for good? Squeamishness won't do. Thrust the dagger. When blood gushes from its runnels, twist it, do so until you hear the clicketty-pop of bone-flecks busting from rib. Kill old fashioned, 'buggy-whip' analog. Do it now!

The DX counterargument is null and void. No one can dismiss concerns on grounds this only affects DX'ers. It's clearly affected everyone, broadcast execs included. Typical 90s dingbats, they expected to have it five way. Scribe revised 'protected contours' on existing coverage maps, and like that, 'stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool'. Spoken by one of many perennial 90s sophomores. Unfortunately, these bugs believed pen-strokes would alter science the way the way they do dreary law books. They didn't.
