We deserve something better. It's not very robust, and
the data rate is too low by a significant factor. If
we are going to do digital, we need to do it right.  A
lot of people will lose radio service period. I expect
if you drive I-40 coast to coast in an all IBOC world,
more than half your trip will be greeted by silence
unless you are right in the city limits. 

I *HAVE* hundreds of CD's....I have hundreds of LP's.
IN FACT I have enough CD's to run at least 3 different
radio formats.

Be careful. You might get paddled.   ]:)


Or we could make you watch Barney re-runs.

That's true. I get very tired of the <POUT!> I'm
taking my toys home! attitude. 

And I don't HAVE to be on any list (s) to enjoy my
radios. And if they are not useable anymore I can
always play with Wolves. 

I also go up to Full Moon Farm near Black Mountain. 

It's a Wolfdog and Wolf rescue. The animals there
don't complain about DX'ing and IBOC. I take up
supplies and give treats to all the animals. 


 I have actually DX'ed from there....in the pen with
Cheyenne and Delaware. My picture doing that is on the
Rogues Gallery at

Delaware is the big boy to my right. He did not care
for the music selection on STANDARDS WTZQ 1600
Hendersonville. Cheyenne did, or maybe she wanted to
eat the radio....
I was up there early this month and groomed Cheyenne.
Delaware didn't need any. But Delaware was a pest. He
kept licking me.
