[IRCA] Two Thoughts About IBOC
Hello:
As a ham long concerned about BPL, I have been reading the IRCA traffic
on IBOC with a strong sense of deja vu.
Tonight I came across a site outlining an another technology for AM
which claims to provide digital advantages without IBOC's hash =

Also of interest to me, particularly, is that NPR is up to its snoot in
promoting IBOC, using CPB grants. WETA here in VA is licensed for it
and WHUR in DC has been on the air for over a year.
A question suggests itself: why is an entity supported at least in part
with tax dollars getting into the business of promoting a sole-source
technology with negative side-effects all thru an essential medium?
That sounds too much like a Kafkaesque version of socialism for
corporations -- particularly when Ibiquity itself has done such a lousy
job of marketing to date.
