Re: [IRCA] HD on WXXI

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

I caught the playback. The guests from WXXI and Clear Channel were only there
to promote HD, and it was left to some listeners to bring up drawbacks. Such as
power-hogging making portable HD receivers untenable, FM HD range being limited
compared to the analog signal. Not even Scott brought up the imminent prospect
of nighttime IBOC, to the WHAM CC guy. I still don`t get it. Here I am 1100+
miles away hearing WXXI stream clear as a bell, and people in Brockport
supposedly need WXXI (AM) on WXXI (FM) HD2 in order to hear it at night,
meanwhile noising up the adjacent frequencies preventing some other stations
from being audible. Scott said he does a tech segment during ATC discussing
such things further (for 4 minutes?), I believe he said Wednesdays at 6:45? 73,
