AM/MW "HD" (IBOC) Radio is a Killer Application - { It Kills the Host Analog AM/MW Radio }

AM/MW "HD" Radio is 'by-design' Engineered to Interfer
with the two Adjacent AM/MW Radio Channels at 10 kHz.

I Ask Myself : What IBOC ?
All I See Is The Blinking Blue Light ! ~ RHF
In That Distant Land* Where IBOC Fears To Go :
Life Exists and Radio Listeners Live Beyond the 10mv/m Contour.

So, why the switch - found out that your clouldn't DX with HD/IBOC?

I've actually stored away my Quantum Loop because it's useless to me
now, here on the East Coast. I feel bad for Gerry Thomas as IBOC is
*NOT* going to be good for business.

* I Ask Myself : What IBOC ?
- - - Never Heard an AM/MW IBOC Radio Signal - Yet !
.
* All I See Is The Blinking Blue Light ! ~ RHF
- - - The 1% Digital IBOC Signal is So Weak !
.
* In That Distant Land* Where IBOC Fears To Go :
- - - These Are No AM/MW Radio Stations In This Area !
.
* Life Exists and Radio Listeners Live Beyond the 10mv/m Contour.
- - - I Live Beyond the Range of the IBOC Digital Signal !

MORE IMPORTANTLY - WHERE I USED TO HEAR 27
LISTENABLE AM/MW RADIO STATIONS {PRE-IBOC]
HERE IN TWAIN HARTE, CA : NOW I CAN LISTEN TO
NINE (9) WITH OUT HEARING SOME LEVEL OF IBOC
DIGITAL HASH THAT MAKES LISTENING TO THEM
NOT ENJOYABLE. HERE IS A SIDE-BY-SIDE USING

RADI-OSOPHY HD-100 RADIO USING A 6 BY 18 FOOT
SINGLE TURN (1) LOOP ANTENNA {48" LONG} WITH
COAX CABLE FEED-IN-LINE.
.
CLEARLY "IF" IBOC WAS AT 4~8% I WOULD BE HEARING
SEVERAL AM/MW "HD" RADIO STATIONS THAT I ONLY
GET A BLINKING BLUE LIGHT.
MY BOTTOM LINE - WITH IBOC IS TURN-IT-OFF -OR-
TURN-IT-UP THE DIGITAL POWER LEVEL SO THAT IT
CAN BE HEARD OUT TO AND BEYOND THE 10 MV/M
CONTOUR.
- - - End of Rant - - -
FWIW - I still have to take the Radi-Osophy HD-100 Radio
down to Oakland, CA and give it a try in the SF Bay Area.
To hear what "HD" Radio sounds like in a Major Metro Area

Digital Hash on any 'distant' AM/MW Radio Listening.
