Re: [IRCA] IBOC in general
As I told my friend Pedantic Powell today, "Things will have to get worse
before they get better".
When the band is absolutely destroyed and low power pea shotoers crank up
the juice to overcome the itnerference, you'll hear alot of, "Hey, he can
interfered with my signal so I'm going to crank up the power".. the FCC is
going to seriously look at this in a different way.
Sad, but true.
