[IRCA] Michigan IBOC on SRF-59

["Karl J. Zuk" <karlzuk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Ircans:

I am vacationing in Michigan listening with a SRF-59.

I like to listen to WBZ Boston on 1030. With KDKA and WHO both blowing IBOC smoke, along with WBZ's IBOC, you have one big racket in this part of the woods. What a mess. You try to get used to the noise, but it's not easy. It sounds like a very under-recorded cassette tape. (Don't I sound old! What's a cassette?) But, amazingly, I can hold WBZ until well after 8am phasing out a local on 1030 with just the SRF-59. No phasing loops or antennas needed. I had another SRF-59 before I received an XM MiFi going back to about 2003. My old SRF-59 did not work half this good and the tuning capacitor eventually wore out. The plastic sheeting between the rotor blades wore out and created a short. I have been a huge XM fan ever since. As much as I love to DX, I listen nearly continually to XM - or - to BBC Radio Scotland or Ireland's RTE1 on the Internet rebroadcast onto FM to cover my house.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Karl Zuk N2KZ
