Re: [IRCA] IBOC acronym

["Tim Hall" <timhall1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, how about:
Interference Bordering On Cruelty?

This can be fun (if we don't get carried away!).  I once had a similar contest for SPAM (the edible kind, not the electronically-transmitted kind):
Spoiled Pork And Mice
Something Posing As Meat
Someone Pulverized A Muskrat
Several Pigeons Are Missing
Someone Punish Austin Minnesota!
etc.

Thankfully we don't have to put up with too much of it in San Diego (IBOC, that is)... mainly KOGO and KNX.  XEPE does more damage than KOGO during the day, despite having a non-IBOC signal.  Who knows how much power they are running.  Maybe 50kW?  It sure sounds like more than 10kW.  XEUT-1630 is closer to my house and nowhere near as intense a signal.
