IBOC's name is fake. On channel? All over them. Fidelity? Unremarkable. Range? Limited. Ruins analog range too. More lies: "We've no right to listen to 'out of contour' stations".
Ibiquity claims half AM stations could go dark, unnoticed. Which? Those not paying high HD fees? Sound like a racket? It is, literally and figuratively. HD stations air 'multiple streams'', yellow no doubt. Wasn't problem too many stations? How will knocking analogs off air while adding HD streams fix it?
When have consumers been kept in the dark about a good product? Why do H/Doots make stations buy this kluge but not tell the public of its supposed wonders?
Because they must first jam the spectrum into ruin, leaving no choice but to buy HD.
Millions rely on stations near and far. They aren't DX'ers, don't know the term. They'll lose as will we if HD prevails. Even Radio World can't keep this third-hand colostomy bag of lies from busting open. Write. Forget flaming. Shills love seeing hobbyists fight one another. Divide and conquer. Everyone loses with IBOC except monopolist greedy-guts and posters burping out HD hymns while taunting radio lovers with phony DX brags from decades past.
Will undersigned be banned? Who cares. If so, point's been missed. DX'ers will have marginalized themselves to delight of those demonstrating their contempt for radio with voice-tracking, talent layoffs, and digital pseudo-solutions to analog non-problems.
'Our inevitable digital future'? Here's what three/five hundred dollars buys after "Team Icroquity" renders your radios worthless. Sit down. Breathe deeply. Pop a Digitalis.
Hot new idea from 'top format expert': "Innovative gutsy approach. Play a Pepsi ad? Flash 'Pepsi on sale' on HD radio screen". Whew! Boy! Wow oh woo!
Al Capone would love it. Spare him the bother of burning down the competition.
