K200EA, if it exsisted on 87.9, would be an FM translator and not a TV station as he says it is;) And i see they're going IBOC. Public radio stations in Alaska apparently got a grant that was specifically for HD radio transmitters and if they didn't use it for that, they lost it and couldn't use it for anything els.e Paul Walker www.facebook.com/onairdj www.onairdj.com On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 1:21 PM, c...@islandnet.com wrote: I urge all the readers to download this confirmation letter from KYUK and see if you can spot the irony in it.

Nice QSL, Colin. My sense of irony must be turned off... I just missed it completely. Give me some help, eh? Literal on Orcas John B.

Here's my understanding of the IBOC situation: because electricity is almost unbelievably expensive in rural Alaska - I've heard figures as high as 50 cents/kWh (!) - some of the rural public radio AM stations are looking for ways to reduce their power bills by turning off analog AM. KIYU in Galena shut off its AM entirely earlier this year, replacing it with a half-dozen 100-watt FM signals. I've heard some discussion from other AMs up there about going digital-only on AM. Even if it means providing listeners with replacement receivers, the savings on power bills would apparently more than make up for that cost. As a bonus, it would provide us with our first chance as DXers to see what digital-only HD operation - literally IBOC in this case - might do at a distance... 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
