The past is wonderful, and the future is amazing.
I run an Internet radio station, and its audio is better than any radio
station I ever worked for.
And it's as good in Australia as it is in my home.
I wouldn't have believed it 15 years ago.
Unfortunately, radio jobs aren't what they
Ah, yes. Dolly Holiday with an all-night program on 50KW stations, for the
Holiday Inn, I think.
I don't think there was much in the way of content, just beautiful music
and some commercials.
It endedat the end of 1971.
KOA replaced Dolly Holiday with an excelent all-night oldies show hosted
Incidentally, I don't think KCBS every aired Dolly Holiday, instead airing
the long-running Music Till Dawn, which the CBS O and O's carried.
KOA aired Holiday, and I believe KOB in Albuquerque did, too.

What amazes me is just how strong their IBOC was compared to their
modulation on 1380.
At times I could hear the carrier, but had trouble hearing what was being
said, due to low modulation and other signals on the frequency.
Yet the IBOC was pounding away loudly especially on 1370.

Hi Patrick,
I'm in northeast Seattle, and I certainly hear the IBOC hash, but KRKO's
modulation is very low.
Carrier sounds stronger than usual, though, and I know they were planning
on using IBOC.
Their signal isn't sensational here, but I can't imagine who else would be
doing IBOC on 1380.
Hi Dennis,
I think there's supposed to be a 930 in Bellingham, but I've never heard
it from northeast Seattle.
The 850 in Tacoma is amazingly weak here, but I _can_ hear it.

Don't know, Dennis, but last night they were quite a bit stronger than the
first couple days at the new tower site. I'm in Seattle.

Hi Bob,
Years ago from Phoenix, I received digihash from WOR, New York's tests, even
though its on-air analog signal was covered up by other stations.
This leads me to believe that the Australian reception is indeed possible.

Kevin,
Just checked to verify this, and KJR is not being broadcast on KUBE's HD.
Didn't tink it was. KUBE is on HD1, and Xtreme Hip-Hop is on HD2.
