HD Radio Humor - 5 Keys to Improving HD Radio Reception

"You may not know this, but HD Radio Signals Broadcast
at 1/100th the Power of the traditional Analog Radio Signal.
Basic physics tells us that this means that the Range (and
the ability to deal with Radio Interference) of the HD Radio
Signal will be less than that of your old Analog Radio."
Points Out a Key Problem with the "HD" Radio scheme
that was approved by the FCC the 1% Power Restriction.
There should have been a Multi-Year Phased-In Digital Power
Management Scheme for the continued Improvement of the
"HD" Radio Sugnal and the Phasing-Out of the 'old' Analog
Radio Signals.
First Year = 1 % of the Analog ERP with a Full 100 % Analog Signal
2~3 Years = 2 % of the Analog ERP with a 10 % Reduction
of the Analog Signal
4~6 Years = 4 % of the Analog ERP with a 20 % Reduction
of the Analog Signal
7~10 Years = 8 % of the Analog ERP with a 40 % Reduction
of the Analog Signal
TERMINATION - All Analog Broadcasting after 10 Years.
