Re: [IRCA] No longer "How local IS WBZ?"

Chuck has this habit of thinking the original iBiquity spec and the NRSC-5
are basically identical. Bad thinking.

I'm moving the NRSC-5 specs to the front right now.

Chuck, dig out your copy of the NRSC-5 spec, which I'm sure you keep close
at hand at all times. :-)  Turn to Section 5, wherein the Station
Information Service (SIS) protocol is described.  This is the "RDS" for
IBOC, and it applies to both the AM and FM systems, so it is indeed
"official".
