[IRCA] Oh, boy! More IBOC! Now on a TIS! Be still my heart!

[Charles A & Leonor L Taylor <calltaylor@xxxxxxx>]

Bill,

iBiquity tested IBOC on IBB Delano's DL-4 transmitter for a week. Agreement 
with IBB, that's all I know. (IBB=means VOA and/or Radio Martí, if you're 
not into alphabet soup).

iBiquity engineers got in the way. We (techs) listened on a remote receiver 
via Internet. I wouldn't bother to think or write about it. Expect 
iBiquity's got enough influence to get time on a DOD TIS.

Maybe will get to try it on a transportable Continental 317F. Fly over Cuba 
and transmit Radio
Martí-530 in IBOC. Makes sense to me, too. I was government for 32 years.

Excuse me while I calm down.
