Disappointing, on many fronts...and one wonders how much worse it might
get in, say, mid-December.

That's to put it mildly. The answer is a LOT worse. NOW I HAVE NO RELIABLE
NIGHT SIGNALS TO LISTEN TO. I DO NOT have ANY primary or secondary night
service in Silverstreet, not even groundwave thatt I can use. WKDK after dark
is audible but not listenable (for music) So I am pissed to say the least. I
USED to listen to Coast to Coast before I went to sleep. NOT anymore. WLAC
sounds like a vaccum cleaner is run by my head. Where the ICF-2010 sits it
can't be moved to ATTEMPT to null WTWP. As for FM, the system is obsolete.
Data rate is too low. 1% power is way too low. Then there was talk of raising
power to 2%. Now there's talk of 10%. That means replacing the transmitters.
2% power is doable at some sites. When you get into the 10% range there WILL be
interference. But down here anyone who is using secondaries....it's the same
old crap they have elsewhere. WFBC is running comedy. It sounds worse than a
SHAKY 24,000 baud dial up. WCOS has the
same artist / song in the display. It's been that way for days on end. This is
on the HD2. They are running a semi form of classic country but not the really
old good hits. The only thing the HD radio is for is listening to an adjacent
that carries something I want to hear....well....used to ..... the Braves on
Clemson's 104.9. HD at 10% will take care of that. It surely isn't good for
decoding on a reliable basis ONE station and if I want to hear more I need a
tower and rotor and an APS-13..... maybe.
More ranting and venting to come later.
