Re: [IRCA] More IBOC

Craig,

As we all have said before, if night IBOC gets widespread, we can say
goodbye to long range reception. It will be noise from end to end. Our
only options will be to move. Few of us will do that. I don't expect us
to move to Kauai of Northern Alaska. hi. But there is always longwave,
shortwave, TV DX.  But this will totally kill the AM band. More people
will be listening to radio on the internet. IBOC is a total waste of
spectrum and it useless as it has such poor coverage. After night IBOC
gets implimented, why even continue with analog? The band will be full
of noise that in most cases the analog signal will not have a prayer to
make it out 50 miles. So if IBOC does stick, within a few years, most
everything left on AM with be IBOC only I would presume. At least it
looks like it would be pointing that way. But time will tell.
