Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] FCC Bows to Big Money, Dumps on Listeners, and Approves Night AM IBOC

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

Well I was hoping that they would come to their senses, nope. When iBlock 
starts at night I will probably not do much DXing at least on the AM band, I 
can't stand the noise. It unsettles me to the point where I jump when I do a 
bandscan during the day which is infrequent and is maybe why I jump. Would I 
get used to the noise? Maybe, do I want to? No. Am I giving up on radio? No, 
but if iBlock starts to scum up the airwaves at night, I'm not going to be 
listening to it.
Incidently I got bounced off the NRC list tonight, must have offended some 
iBlock stooge over there, that's all right I resigned my membership also. I 
first joined in 1980 with a very long gap in between, guess I'll start 
getting the paper version of the IRCA very soon. I like Shortwave also and 
just got my ham license so I'll be around for a long time and I'm keeping my 
boatanchors, they like your's, go way above and below the BCB,
