Re: [IRCA] IBAC vs IBOC

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Not a replacement for intelligence?

Better tell that to the many posters on the broadcasting industry e-lists.
When you convince them they are not intelligent, then could you explain why
they would care about a few DX'ers using the same acronym?

What I think you have proved is that one person didn't understand an
acronym. Not a bit more. I'll grant you some people who care to discuss IBOC
won't know what IBAC means, but is that a problem?

Dunno what professionals you speak of, but there are 2 people on this list
who have professional engineering involvement in IBOC technology: Barry and
(formerly) me. Since you can claim to know us, you're down to "the
professionals you know" minus 2.

Whatever Barry. None of the professionals that I know call a hot dog a
hamburger, they don't call milk beer, they don't call a chicken a duck,
and they don't call IBOC IBAC. IBAC might better describe the reality of
it. All I am saying is that is not the name of it. And this is obviously
confusing to people as was demonstrated earlier today. It's like saying
I'm going to call my Ford a Chevy because to me it acts more like a
Chevy. But me calling it a Chevy doesn't make it so. When I take it in
for repairs and insist that it's a Chevy, the mechanic is going to be
confused. That's all I'm saying. Fun is fun. But it isn't a replacement
for intelligence.
