Re: [IRCA] Here it Comes....FCC To Release IBOC Rules Next Week

[Brett Saylor <bds2@xxxxxxx>]

Respectfully, Kevin, look at the difficulty that ARRL has had trying  
to deal with BPL - they have mounted a very technically sound  
campaign based totally on physical science, and they are still having  
trouble keeping that nasty genie in the bottle. I think the "fix was  
in" on IBOC too, and though I wish we could have stopped it, I don't  
know how even 100's of letters from listeners would have influenced  
the FCC.

Just my thoughts,

Brett Saylor
