[IRCA] Digital Signal on a TIS

[wharms@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It looks like my local "TIS" (or what I thought was a TIS) on 1680, which is broadcasting from 
Fort Meade, Maryland, and which location has been verified, is now broadcasting a digital 
signal.  It sounds ver much like IBOC (if is is something else, I can't tell the difference). First 
heard 4/14 at 1500 EDT.  I have to wonder for what purpose is the Federal Government, 
specifically, the DoD is doing broadcasting a digital signal on what was assumed to be a TIS.  
Is there cooperation between iBiquity and some Federal Governmental organzation?  
Remember that the iBiquity headquaters are located in Columbia, Maryland, which is about 5 
miles from the transmitter site for this signal....  I heard this station re-broadcasting the NOAA 
weather reports from Baltimore-Washington International Airport before this digital signal 
appeared.
