[IRCA] WJR 760 IBOC progress report

["Joe Miller, AB8YP" <ab8yp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Scott, Patrick, and the group,

Sadly, I was tired after painting all day yesterday,
and was unable to hear WJR with IBOC at night.

I did try tonight with three different radios on
Sunday evening and here is what I heard:

RCA RCD180 (a CD boombox with a surprisingly good AM
       tuner)
   740 CHWO - fairly strong signal, listenable quality
   750 QRM from undetermined source
   760 WJR - good but noisy signal for 50kW at 35 mls
   770 WABC - good signal, quite audible
   780 WBBM - good signal, quite audible

Grundig Satellit 800 Millenium
   Virtually same results as the RCA RCD180

Sony ICF-2010 with Radio Shack loop antenna
   740 CHWO - strong signal, very listenable quality
   750 WSB - heard stn ID but with QRM from
       undetermined source at about 752 kHz whistle
       like sound
   760 WJR - what you would expect for 50kW at 35 mls
   770 WABC - very good signal, quite audible
   780 WBBM - very good signal, quite audible


Will continue to monitor this in the days ahead.
