don Curtino - 

  Glad for your good news. Same cannot be said for Tampa. Racketeer-kasters 
add new racketmakers by the week, despite all indications AM iBLOC is moribund.

 1250 Tampa, eighty miles distant now wrecks nearby formerly L&C 1240, Ft. 
Myers. Makes my point, forget inflated claims of HD cheerleaders - It's about 
Jamming.

Jamming is the cheat method by which KronyKasters hope to circumvent listener 
antipathy.

Radio World today has great leter from Jim Jenkins, Owner/GM, WAGS, 
Bishopville, SC. GM Jenkins didactically demolishes overblown HD claims. He succinctly 
nails it:

"Call this marriage off now. The divorce will be ugly."

Even Radio World,  despite last week's seemingly iQuackwitty ghost-written 
'Analog Lost - Digital Won' OpEd, this week sez a 'Wow' factor is needed to sell 
HD to fleeing listeners. 

Get this - R/W actually suggests HD promoters & engineers must see matters 
from listener perspective! Who'd a thought? 
 
Byt why would they do that? They know the view is ugly.

"Wow!" Factor? Here's the factor people pick up on: "HD blocks my favorite 
station and confines me to a few big broadcasters."


Cheerleaders claim they must do a better job telling listeners about HD's 
arrival. They needn't exert themselves. Listeners noted the noisy arrival of this 
busted-steam pipe interloper. They welcome HD's as they would a flatulent 
amnesiac to a four star banquet.
