It's been a long day for me (drove from Fort Wayne to Rochester), and
I'm calling it a night and leaving Total Recorder running for the next
couple of hours just to see what happens with this one.
A few observations before I go - I'm having no trouble at all hearing
KMOX or WTAM on the 2010. I hear some hiss behind WTAM in wide mode on
the 2010, but I can null it pretty well. If this is as bad as it gets
when we have HD at night (and yes, I know it isn't!), it won't be the
end of the world.
Good heavens - they've got the chief engineer, Jerry Dowd, on the air
from the transmitter site talking about spectral regrowth!
Still no sign of any HD at all from WBT on the HDT-1, not even the call
letters on the display.
They're taking a phone call (12:26 AM) from Barry Thomas, the director
of engineering for Lincoln Financial Media (ex-Jefferson-Pilot), who's
listening in Atlanta and can't hear the HD audio either, though he's
getting the data display.
Oh - and they're mentioning that they may be switching back to night
pattern soon, so if it hasn't been heard yet out west, it may not be
tonight...
