Re: [IRCA] More available spectrum when TV goes digital.

[BARRY DAVIES <barry.davies25@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could the FCC give regular 50kW AM stations a licence to simulcast in IBOC on the freed up TV analogue frequencies after 2008?  This would also open up an off shoot of the hobby, IE DXing IBOC stations with the relevant specialist gear.This would mean business for the Chinese radio manufactures. This is only an idea UNLESS the frequencies are already spoken for?
