Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Re: "HD" DX?

Dear Paul - 

  Yes, the noise is horrid. In manner of stool liquid in a Cholera-plagued 
Parkinson ward, noise is flung about upwards of twenty five KHz each side of 
center freq, wrecking a swath of spectrum fifty to sixty KHz wide. HD 
cheerleaders, from one crooked corner of their snouts, deny interference, period. From 
another alimentary fissure in their bottomless pie-holes, they piously claim we 
little men haven't any business listening to stations beyond 'protected 
contours'. They claim this 'hurts' local broadcasters.

 Isn't this akin to forbidding shopping at the market as this 'hurts' 
neighborhood convenience stores?

BundHD doesn't lack for irony. They claim we 'hurt' local stations so as to 
justifiy jamming distant ones w/HD noise. But so-called 'locals' are owned by 
BigKorpseorate KronyKasters who generall air non-local syndicated and 
increasingly tiresome programs.

>From yet another corner of their poxy pie-holes, these spivs left-handedly 
admit they cause illegal interference but HD-2 -3 -4 'streaming' of additional 
channels will create 'a new golden age of radio'. 

  Those familiar with the film 'Personal Services' will at once liken 
'streams' to 'Golden Rain', recycled canned lifeless stooge programs from other 
BigKronyKaster studios.

Many astutely point out the excuse for digital was that BigKorpseKasters were 
losing audiences. Right. So if no one listens to the main channel, why would 
any listen to yellow 'streams'?

  Non-DXers state, 'virtually everything about HD is a lie', and 'a gimmick 
to yoke listeners to a few monopoly owned stations and drive competing 
broadcasters to ruin.

The interference is awful on AM and as well it's causing concern on FM.

Our FCC, whose prime job was to keep spectrum free from interference, is seen 
as complicit in this mess. Many liken this odd 'public-private' partnership 
to 'gaming the system' to ensure success by destroying choices.

 Listeners, as ever, have an uncanny way of undoing even the best of schemes.

Should HD go night time, given its pulsed full-power transmission methods, 
doubtless you'll hear it clearly as well. 

A treat, just like a ruptured gall bladder.

                                                                      z
