Paul, I think you can take that as a yes. Mike Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Paul -
Yes, the noise is horrid. In manner of stool liquid in a Cholera-plagued Parkinson ward, noise is flung about upwards of twenty five KHz each side of center freq, wrecking a swath of spectrum fifty to sixty KHz wide. HD cheerleaders, from one crooked corner of their snouts, deny interference, period. From another alimentary fissure in their bottomless pie-holes, they piously claim we little men haven't any business listening to stations beyond 'protected contours'. They claim this 'hurts' local broadcasters. Isn't this akin to forbidding shopping at the market as this 'hurts' neighborhood convenience stores? BundHD doesn't lack for irony. They claim we 'hurt' local stations so as to justifiy jamming distant ones w/HD noise. But so-called 'locals' are owned by BigKorpseorate KronyKasters who generall air non-local syndicated and increasingly tiresome programs. >From yet another corner of their poxy pie-holes, these spivs left-handedly admit they cause illegal interference but HD-2 -3 -4 'streaming' of additional channels will create 'a new golden age of radio'. Those familiar with the film 'Personal Services' will at once liken 'streams' to 'Golden Rain', recycled canned lifeless stooge programs from other BigKronyKaster studios. Many astutely point out the excuse for digital was that BigKorpseKasters were losing audiences. Right. So if no one listens to the main channel, why would any listen to yellow 'streams'? Non-DXers state, 'virtually everything about HD is a lie', and 'a gimmick to yoke listeners to a few monopoly owned stations and drive competing broadcasters to ruin. The interference is awful on AM and as well it's causing concern on FM. Our FCC, whose prime job was to keep spectrum free from interference, is seen as complicit in this mess. Many liken this odd 'public-private' partnership to 'gaming the system' to ensure success by destroying choices. Listeners, as ever, have an uncanny way of undoing even the best of schemes. Should HD go night time, given its pulsed full-power transmission methods, doubtless you'll hear it clearly as well. A treat, just like a ruptured gall bladder. z Paul Vincent Zecchino Manasota Key, FL _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] 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: [email protected] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
