website)

'Anti' IBOC Alliance Membership Grows 
by Leslie Stimson, 11.14.2007 
(Leslie Stimson is the News Editor and Washington Bureau Chief for Radio
World.)

WYSL owner Bob Savage says he has more than 90 members for his new
anti-IBOC alliance which I mentioned in my last post. 

None wished to be identified by name. 

"For the most part these people are not bomb-throwing reactionaries but
are radio pros who are genuinely concerned about IBOC's adverse effects
on AM radio," he tells me. The entries also include "many accounts of
serious interference" he says.

There are a few DXers, ham operators and other "civilians" among that
group; however, he said, the majority are broadcasters who represent a
cross-section "from the small-market guys all the way to major-market 50
kW AM stations."

One anonymous "confessional entry," he says, "loses sleep over being
forced by management to install HD-AM, which he regards as an ethical
transgression, because it generates harmful interference. He's certain
that if his name and station got out he would lose his job."
