Hi Phil,

I live in southwestern Michigan and I can here no digital A M stations here
during the day. Several months ago, the station in Cincinnati was running
intermittent digital at night on 1530khz and it wiped out the stations on
both 1520 and 1540 when the digital was running.  Personally, I'm hoping
that digital A M does not come to my area as its bandwidth requirements are
ridiculous unless the A M band plan is changed.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: Digital A M Radio


They are beginning to advertise on different local stations that they are
now transmitting in digital and so go hunting for a radio to hear it.  I
have noticed two unusual things of late that I believe are digital radio
related.  First, a station here that is a Christian outfit has been on 800
for literally years.  The last few days, it has been off the air, or so I
thought.  I began tuning around and discovered they have moved up the band
to 810 believe it or not.  Now, in this case, it may be due to the fact we
have a Mexican station also on 800 and this little Christian stations drops
to low power at night.  Some winter nights, the Mexican station, south of
the border, is so strong, you can not even hear the local station.  So
perhaps that is why they moved because I don't hear any digital signal near
them.  Maybe the Christian station, on the other hand, is going to go
digital because their sister station has, that is, the Crawford Broadcasting
station that owns the smaller Christian station.  However,  There are two
stations I like listening to at different times and one I can no longer copy
at all because we have a station on 630 and another on 710 and both of them
are running their digital signals in between, that is, on about 635 and 705.
.  The station in Cheyenne is on 650 and runs 10 over S 9 here in Denver but
you cannot copy them now because of the digital signals on either side of it
that bracket their 650 signal.  I also listen to another station that is
only about S 9 coming into Denver because it runs about 10 KW and is up in
the mountains.  The digital local signal of a local Denver A M station is so
loud, I have to tune 5 KHz above and tune the weaker signal in just to hear
it.  I believe, as I tuned the whole A M band a couple of weeks ago, I
counted more than a dozen digital signals so far here in Denver.

Phil.
