Re: [IRCA] KGO is running IBOC

["Marty Rimpau" <mrimpau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick, I have noticed that ever since Friday, or possibly
yesterday, that the iboc side lobes of k g o are more noisy, as if
there is data being transferred on a second channel, but remember, they
have been iboc for some time now, and the way it works right now is,
that on the week days, they switch either transmitters, or, switch on
the iboc at 9 in the morning before Ronn Owens, and switch it off at 4
in the afternoon just before the afternoon news, but at least, they
sound high fidelity with their iboc, but there's got to be a way for
all iboc stations to somehow slash the side noise on the frequency to a
bare minimum, if possible, and when they first went iboc, there was
slight over modulation on their signal, but now, that seems to have
been corrected, and I really wish they'd at least mention their iboc on
the air, but maybe none of the stations that use iboc do.  I hope they
don't do what most iboc stations are doing, and that is, to broadcast
in 5 kilohertz fidelity, like k n e w, and k q k e at 960 are doing. 
If your radio is in the center of k g o's carrier, you really can't
tell, locally, right now, that they're using iboc, possibly if you
listened hard enough, you could, but remember, you're listening under
different conditions than I am.

Hi everyone,

I have no idea if it is another test, or they kicked it on at 0600 PST
this morning for good, but KGO's signal is really bad with this
horrible
hash behind the carrier right on 810. It sounds like a chainsaw behind
Bernie Ward's God Talk.  Now KEX does not have that chainsaw sound,
even
though they run IBOC. Of course KGO's hash knocks out most everything
on
800 & 810 off the SW EWE. I can just imagine the number of calls KGO
must be getting. The last time they ran the IBOC test after Midnight
months ago, I called. This is unreal.

73,
