[IRCA] IBOC signal question

[Hawkins <ng0g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gang,

It occurred to me a while back that as much as some stations push their 
"high def" signal, I don't know anyone who has one of the radios.  I can 
hear the hiss from WHO (1040) in Des Moines from about 1022 to 1057. It 
may be wider but those are the points where other station manage to get 
through. WHO's transmitter is about 40 miles from my house as the crow 
flies.  I don't know how much this costs each station every month, but 
it seems in tight economic times, stations would not be wasting money on 
dubious "features" that nobody uses.  Are they trying to make money off 
this in some way I don't know about?

Thanks,

Steve
