[IRCA] KGO is running IBOC

2007-02-18 Thread Patrick Martin
Hi everyone, I have no idea if it is another test, or they kicked it on at 0600 PST this morning for good, but KGO's signal is really bad with this horrible hash behind the carrier right on 810. It sounds like a chainsaw behind Bernie Ward's God Talk. Now KEX does not have that chainsaw sound,

Pat, can you get an audio clip of that chainsaw sound? Maybe you can send a polite note to KGO telling them what you are hearing... Bill Harms On 18 Feb 2007 at 6:20, Patrick Martin wrote: Hi everyone, I have no idea if it is another test, or they kicked it on at 0600 PST this

I sent KGO an email telling them what I am hearing 101 miles out from their transmitter, but still within their primary coverage. I didn't phrase it this way, but it ain't pretty. Not expecting a substantive response, but will pass on what, if anything, I get back. Bob Coomler Cloverdale, CA

Hi Patrick, I have noticed that ever since Friday, or possibly yesterday, that the iboc side lobes of k g o are more noisy, as if there is data being transferred on a second channel, but remember, they have been iboc for some time now, and the way it works right now is, that on the week days, they

Bob, I talked with the CE the last time they tested and he knew of the issues then. So I am sure KGO heard from many. I am glad you e mailed them. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Marty, I did not know KGO has been IBOC for some time. The last time I caught it was during the test mode some months back. Since they run it daytime from 9 AM to 4 PM, that is a good reason I have not caught it. But the noise level is awful on 810. I don't know if the pattern has anything to do

Yes, it is very unfortunate that KGO has taken the bitter pill of IBOC. I have listened to KGO since Les Crane was there at the Hungry Eye in the 60s. Later came Ira Blue and the list goes on and on. It is so sad to see what KGO is doing with IBOC. If I had to listen to them at night with that

By the way, my complaint with KGO's IBOC is not related to their sideband splash, but to listening to them period with their co channel hash. For the record, the hash on each side pretty well knocked out everything on 800 820. I just wonder if KPDQ or KGNW knows about it? 73, Patrick Patrick

I wonder if this will end C.Crane's ads for the CC Radio? I could contemplate phoning The Smartest Man On Radio (Bill Wattenberg), but he would blame IBOC on the eco-nazis . . . ROFLMHO! Don't forget the criminally insane left-leaning Sierra club wankers that advocate burying Owl habitat

Colin, You are probably talking about Karel that has been filling in when Bernie has been gone. He is fun to listen to. I have an idea that the moderators probably do not have much clout. I think the rules come from the head office. The only way IBOC will die is that the advertisers and listeners
