[IRCA] AM Radio "Needs Strong Medicine"

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Radio World has a nice article out about comments filed with the FCC by 
the National Alliance of AM Broadcasters. While DX'ers may not agree 
with all of them, I think we would favor the majority. I also applaud 
their response pointing out that "half measures" (which the FCC is very 
fond of) will only prolong the demise of the AM Band.

Saving it will require some bold action. The elimination of corporate 
influences such as IBOC would be a great place to start. Time to admit 
that the emperor has no clothes (IBOC won't work on AM) and move on to 
another digital solution, or better analog fidelity.
