Another angle on this: Think about how our fathers and grandfathers felt when the AM dial went from being purely clear channel and trans-continental broadcasters to local and regional identities - hundreds of stations dotting the dial - so many so that lots of dxing opportunities were lost by the sheer number.
Who can forget the tale of North American AM stations going off the air late at night for the benefit of dxers seeking reception from Europe, Asia and Australia? Just as our predecessors faced seemingly insurmountable odds to take their hobby to the next level - let alone survival - So too shall we rise above whatever obstacle comes alone. IBOC won't kill radio or the hobby. Complacency and resistance to, at least some, evolution of the radio medium will harm us. You know what they say: DXers don't die, they just fade away. -- Colin Newell - Editor/Creator www.coffeecrew.com | www.dxer.ca Web-Design / E-Commerce / Writing _______________________________________________ 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]
