SO WHAT?? There is NO revenue coming from those other states. And that 38 claim hasn't been true in decades. > I hate this mess! Karl Zuk Well stations aren't broadcasting FOR your DX'ing pleasure. Skywave was / is there and won't go away. It can also be an aggravation close in to the station because of groundwave / skywave cancellation. I don't care for HD as it really is an outdated and data bit starved / reduced mode, and even under perfect condtions it isn't as good as analog. Right now power levels are 1% of analog, but with the modulation cycle even wiith no audio is 100%. That's why it creates such a mess. The laughable thing is on the clears...the adjacents IBOC prevents each others IBOC from decoding at night. I guess THAT is poetic justice. If your post mark is NOT in the local area, the letter goes in the trash. It won't have ANY effect unless they CAN VERIFY and PROVE a LOCAL reception problem as WBAL is getting from WTAM. Just as WBT gets interference from WTAM and KMOX. They will just write you off as a sour grapes DX'er !
