Don, No problem. The only reason I mentioned the hosts on KGO, doesn't mean I like them all. :) I consider myself a moderate. That is what a lot of my liberal friends call me. :) But the IBOC issue is something pretty serious to our hobby. I always thought touch lamps, light dimmers, etc were the worst things, but I have to rethink my thinking now. There are worse things. What our future is, who knows? It does not look good, but anything can happen if the complaints start coming in. I still don't know what I am going to do in the longrun, if IBOC does not go away. Many thoughts have crossed my mind from moving to DXing LW, SW, and other bands. I still need a mess of countries on SW. But we are not alone, there are millions of Americans, Canadans, Mexicans, and people who live in other nearby countries that have to put up with HD noise. Time will tell. It just started a couple days ago. I do know of several stations that are in local markets that the hash is wiping them out within 5 or 10 miles of their transmitter, like KXPA Bellevue WA. So some complaints will arise out of that. But I don't give up easily. To me the big lady has not sung as yet.
