Urgent message, won't last long.

Read while you still can!

KSL 1160's IBOC is off due to T-storms.

I hear KFAQ like it used to sound before the hash took over. Nice to hear an old friend, but I know it won't last long.

I am posting a video on Youtube that will show KWDZ's signal getting taken out by lightning. HD radio blows on AM.

Las Vegas on 1140 and Canada on the same freq are coming in crystal clear without KSL's IBOC.

Note to KSL AM - LEAVE IT OFF PLEASE!!!

But, now I have a huge hum on KSL-AM without "HD" radio.
(Please, someone invent a decent way to do Digital Radio, that works for everybody.)

I'm trying to figure out the connection between thunderstorms and IBOC. The only thing I can think of is a backup transmitter setup that doesn't have the hash generator on it.

Ken, such a system does exist and has for years. You remember Leonard Kahn right? The Kahn AM Stereo guy who lost to Motorola's C-QUAM? He's come up with the Cam-D digital system for AM. KDYL was running it for quite a while, but I"m not sure if they still are. There are samples at www.wrathofkahn.net and the whole story is at www.wrathofkahn.org/

KDYL produced and has continued to produce no hash what-so-ever. I'm all for this system over HD Radio.
