I found that the IBOC signal fades just as the analog signals will. Perhaps we should try and get the stations to QSL their HD siganls. Patrick, there you have a new source for QSLs!!
One very good thing to report is that my home station must not be running IBOC at this time. WBAP-820 is clear from any hash. WWL-870 is also clear. Here in southeastern Tennessee, I have completely lost all reception from 1090 to 1220. WTAM-1100 and KMOX-1120 is killing my semi-local WBT-1110. KMOX-1120 is totally covering KWKH-1130. There is hash on top of WRVA-1140 from some one on 1130 and WRVA hash is killing my local WGOW-1150. WOWO-1190 is killing 1180 and 1200/ WPHT-1210 is killing 1200 and 1220-- and so it goes. On the low end of the band, my local WSB-750 is trashed by WJR-760 and WSB IBOC is killing 740 and chance of hereing CHWO. WABC-770 is trashing 760 and 780 and WBBM is killing WABC-770 and any chance of hereing anything on 790. And at 0045 EWT, the Cubans have taken over the top of the dial from 550 to 630. Have Cuban on each freq. >From reading other reports about HD radio and how these persons thing it sounds better, I can not agree. What little I can dig out of the hash, it sounds all the same to me. Please do not misunderstand. I am not against IBOC. They just need to find a place for it that it doesn't harm the small broadcaster and my locals. The Cleveland, TN locals are not audible to night and they are less than 20 miles away. 73's Willis _______________________________________________ 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]
