Re: [IRCA] Another perspective on AM IBOC, from the broadcasters' mailing list

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Russ,

The all digital mode on MW does not sound practical either with IBOC.
According to every source I have read, getting that HD signal more than
a few miles is impossible. So unless all stations decide all they want
is local coverage, the analog has to stay. But with the "Hiss", it is
going to do away with analog in all practical purposes anyway, as few
will be able to hear the analog. I can just imagine what Alan Roycroft
(CE in Hawaii) would say if he was alive. He must be rolling over in his
grave!

73,
