Re: [IRCA] IBOC signal question

>>It occurred to me a while back that as much as some stations push
their "high def" signal, I don't know anyone who has one of the radios.
I can hear the hiss from WHO (1040) in Des Moines from about 1022 to
1057. It may be wider but those are the points where other station
manage to get through. WHO's transmitter is about 40 miles from my house
as the crow flies. I don't know how much this costs each station every
month, but it seems in tight economic times, stations would not be
wasting money on dubious "features" that nobody uses. Are they trying to
make money off this in some way I don't know about?<<

Steve, if you are also getting a hiss on their main channel, then others
must too. The people without HD Radios all have to deal with the hiss
and how many listen? I think they are killing themelves. Some stations
are worse than others.
