Cumulus just came in and fired everyone is what I heard. KGO will never be a top rated station again. I don't envy the receptionist at KGO come Monday. The calls will flood the station.

I agree. This is very sad. KGO was a successful live, locally programmed talk station for years. Going up against KCBS which has been all news for a long time and now is available on both AM and FM is going to be a real challenge for Cumulus. I thought the ultimate goal for companies such as

I thought when a signal got up to S9 ("extremely strong signal" using RST reports), one would be seeing "50/00" readings on nearby blank channels on Tecsun radios (and 88/25 to 94/25 on-channel, as well as over 66-72 dBu on IBOC sidebands). ;) I hear IBOC hash even adjacent to S3 "moderately wea

Wow!!! What a shock!!! That is too bad and very unfortunate. I wonder what KGO's ratings will be like in the next book? They have been News-Talk since the early 60s. I have been listening that long too, since their first show done at the Hungry I with Les Crane. This is a sad day. 73, Patrick

Dennis, Generally when a signal gets up to S9 on the R8, I get IBOC hash on adjacents. But 1150 & 1170 do have strong signals too. Thanks for the info. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.

Offhand, 747 might be the best bet for hearing a TA & TP on the same frequency at the same time.  JOIB sometimes fades in around 0600, when Holland would still have a darkness path to this part of the world (during this time of year, anyway). Bruce - Original Message - From:

I was noticing your times being close together for TPs and TAs, and was thinking... Has anyone ever heard a TP *AND* a TA (each with strong enough audio to trip a seek/scan function, or continuously peg a Tecsun radio's S/N indicator) simultaneously competing on the same frequency? (Bonus poin
