Bruce,
I remember Gene Allen years ago forecasting that AM would someday be
more like it once was without the number of stations we have today. With
the economy the way it is, I am amazed all these thousands of AM FM
stations can stay afloat. Running a station is not inexpensive. The
electric
Lee,
I have seen satellite TV evolve from analog back when I bought my 8.5
foot dish in 1985 to all digital today. A lot less expensive to rent a
part of a transponder rather than 1/2 of one in analog. Plus you can get
20 channels per transponder where you used to get only two at one time.
Then
KAZ,
Totally agree. IBOC will lay the biggest egg in broadcasting history.
Well...It already has, but many don't know it. How can you have a
success with IBOC without the radios listeners? One has to wonder why
no one has asked that question. Maybe they have but no one is listening?

Good Morning:
Listened from 1135-1221 ut. MW conditions down here this morning,
no level 5 carriers.
279Russia, Radio Rossii weak at 1135 with woman in Russian.
Carrier levels:

Was up early and couldn't resist giving the band a try starting 40
minutes before dawn (1140 UTC). That first sweep up the band was
probably the best, though each time I went up, I ended up with about
5 or 6 threshold audios, often different and almost all just above or
just below language
A few DU stations heard on MW this morning, but all at poor levels. Even
hets weren't very good this morning--1098 is usually the loudest and even it
wasn't very strong each time I checked. 567 with poor DU talk, 1207 utc; 612
with occasional very poor talk, couldn't even confirm it was DU,

The Hindi from Radio Tarana, Auckland (pres.) was only present on the first

You know, Craig, I have a more than sneaking suspcion that within the next
couple of decades we're going to see OTA radio (including satellite
delivery) go the way of the Dodo in any major population area (or
well-travelled highway.) The 'net streamcaster model is going to continue
to
evolve
That makes me want to reach for a bottle of Gerotol.

we will get 10 yrs of the real oldies first ( 1950-1962 ) before that.
Dont see much of a future in MYL type stations with that generation
sadly dropping like flys.
As far as IBOC goes it must be all but
Unfortunately, and while no one but fooled broadcasters, Ibiquity and DXers
cares or for the most part even knows about IBOC, I don't predict a quick
end to this fiasco. Stations have spents lots of money on this very flawed
and on AM useless tech, but a few more are still adding it, or putting
KAZ,
Maybe the answer is to wait for Ipods, streaming audio, and all of the
other goodies coming down the pike to wipe out half of the stations on
the air. IBOC will go along with the demise of radio. If the transmitter
is not on, neither will be the IBOC hash. But that will take years to
happen.

The Krumudgeon turns 73 next week (not a good age for a licensed ham: KA9SPA)
but my mother's still alive at 98, so I figure I've got 25 more years to grouse
about how radio is leaving big bands, ballads and Broadway
I don't think iBiquity will ever admit they're wrong. They will go down
with the ship as the number of listeners to regular over the air radio
decreases.

Don,
I think a lot of people in the broadcasting industry are living in the
past in regard to broadcasting, the ay it used to be. I don't mean
techology and such, but radio in general. It has always been here and
it will always be here. As we all know nothing last forever. The thought
