Colin, I wonder if he would be interested in their signal in the states? Probably not, but CKOR has a great signal here after LSS most nights. Their 500w gets out very well. I can get CKOR well with phasing out KGO. But you are right no IBOC on KGO tonight. But their noise on 800/820 has been

Colin, KGO's HD hash is right on channel. It is hard to get rid of it. I am glad it is off. Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions

Colin Bill, When KGO did their IBOC test last Winter, I called the CE and complained about the hash in their audio. It may be the skip, but it is not fun to listen to. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list

Actually, I was addressing the whole idea of IBOC requiring a delay. You stated that stations shut off IBOC during ballgames because of the delay. Since the station in question here also turned off IBOC because of the delay indicates that it is a wider problem than just ballgames. And yes, I

Hi all, k g o turned off their iboc this morning at 5 A M, and if the pattern continues through the week-end, they probably won't turn the iboc on until tomorrow evening at 7 but this is just a guess based upon what happened last week-end. On Sun, 23 Sep 2007 00:02:49 -0400, Bill Harms wrote:
