One CE from So Cal told me that we should be flooding the FCC and GM's
of stations with complaints, as we cannot listen to our favorite
stations because of the hiss in their audio, like in the case of KGO.
Not that the hiss is wiping out other stations. No, complain that

Public HD awareness is greatly increased over 1999. HD promoters hoped to

Think about this for a moment. HD promoters haven't said it in a while, but
an early promo was 'our inevitable digital future'.
