Re: [IRCA] AM IBOC editorial update

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Paul here, and want to add that when local IBOCers like 
WBBM (all new..and has been IBOC days for quite a while) pause and have dead 
air you get the IBOC slopping onto that dead air, so once can imagine why it 
compromises analog audio quality.

Great reception from Narragansett area ! Grandparent's summer home was near 
Bonnet Shores..I had phased Beverages aiming down the coast, and with a big 
family GTG there and a few asking questions about my radio hobby, I (without 
telling anyone before hand) used WTAR 790 music for entertainment as 
background dinner music (around 1980 I recall) phasing out Providence's 
WEAN. Not a soul complained about the audio quality (R390A and good speaker) 
... Waterpath is fun even in daytimes.

I just wonder what a mess IBOC has made of the daytime dial from Pt Judith 
now ?  73 KAZ
