Chuck,
I have heard that 1660 Kansas City will be doing IBOC and they are
Classical. You are right, the Hash is apart of the side band noise. As
you tune the SPR4 from 800 to 820, the noise is the weakest right on
810, but it does not disappear. It is noticably there under the talk and
it is not

Can you explain a little more about the A-100? Station A's IBOC is designed
to not bother an envelope detector receiving station A's analog as pains
were taken to have IBOC present a constant envelope.
Now there's obviously a problem here, so what'sgoing on
Scott,
I should have separated the issues, instead of putting them into one
paragraph. I know the difference between the sideband hash and the hash
on channel. But this on channel hash is really a BIG issue. Anyone
outside the groundwave is going to have to deal with this bigtime. Not
fun. I
Scott,
I guess it comes down to Does KGO care about their skywave listeners
any longer? Maybe the hiss is not heard in the local bay area, but it
sure affects the distant listeners. Believe me, the noise was enough to
bother me, so it sure will bother the average listener at a distance.

Bill,
But will they care? Some have posted in the past that all the station
cares about are their local audience. Whatever that means. But KGO has
always cared about their long distance listeners.

Yes, it does - but again, that's with a Sony SRF-A100, one of a very,
very tiny number of AM stereo radios that use an envelope detector that
can't deal with the quadrature modulation that AM IBOC uses.
Scott, on the other hand, I clearly heard an annoying sound under
WTWP/WTOP on my car radio (in a 2004 Dodge Stratus). I spoke with
other people who also heard it on their car radios. My kids told me
to turn it off because it was so annoying. We concluded it sounded a
bit like the 17-year
Scott,
What I was using this morning was the Drake SPR4 from 1971. A few months
back when KGO was testing IBOC after Midnight, I heard the Hash under
their signal on the R8 too. I did not try the R8 this morning however,
but I would be surprised if it would have sounded any different. If the

Bill,
OK, that is exactly the noise I am talking about. If your kids could not
take the noise, then how many others will not listen to it either? It
really sounds like KGO is really in trouble unless they either fix the
issue or shut the IBOC off.
