Yesterday, forced march on bayside trail, 95 degrees, sun beating. Invigorating. Simple pleasures, fast hike in opprexive heat & dexprit humidity. Gets the blood up. Sweating dangerously, 640 Radio Progreso Discoteca Popular reinfusing nerves dissipated. What could be finer than to return home subsequent to such exquisite pleasure?
Returning home to read this glorious notice, that's what. The seams of HD garbage bag - as with Mr. Castro's new appliance - are a' bustin' loose!
HD Cotillion played it too cagey, keeping this below radar, jinking about with low rent thunderjug FCC in hope of springing this upon us.
What about 'you have no business listening to out of contour stations'? As long stated, DX'ers are but a miniscule fraction of vast numbers of citizens who don't know what DX is and couldn't care less about it. But they do want to hear what they want, when they want, on the radio thank you very much, not on the internet or HD Channel 8.
This is but the beginning of many happy family tales, fine reading for beach or Saturday family hour. And in so reading them, I know we'll all have a lot of fun.
Best as ever,

Another view of IBOC, from the Amateur Radio Newsline Report #1513. EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: IBOC TENTATIVELY IDENTIFIED AS INTERFERING SIGNAL IBOC digital radio is making it all but impossible for listeners in some areas to hear their favorite stations in another near-by city or town. Burt Hicks, WB6MQV, reports: -- IBOC stands for In Band On Channel broadcasting. It’s a system that permits broadcasters on the medium wave and VHF FM bands to add digital audio without removing their analog signal,. This is done by adding the digital on the same frequency as the analog. The theory is that a digital receiver will decode the digital signal and ignore the analog one. On the other hand, the digital signal will only sound like off channel noise on an analog radio. The hypothesis is a correct one, but it does not take into account the large number of folks who want to hear F-M stations in a near-by city or town that the IBOC digital sidebands drown out. In one example, a listener wrote to the CGC Communicator saying that ever since San Diego station KUSS, on 95.7 MHz added IBOC, his reception of KLOS has been wiped out. KLOS operates on 95.5 MHz and broadcasts from Mt. Wilson in the Los Angeles area. KUSS, although licensed to Carlsbad, California actually transmits from Mt. Soledad about 23 miles to the south. The addition of IBOC has effectively killed reception of KLOS in northern San Diego county as it has for listeners of other stations from outside of their normal reception areas, nationwide. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Burt Hicks, WB6MQV. -- While radio hobbyists see IBOC as an annoyance in D-Xing distant broadcast band signals, broadcasters reportedly like the idea because of the potential for increased revenue that higher quality audio will bring.
