Hi.

I suppose this might mean that we need a bigger AM broadcast band with 
wider channel spacing.  Maybe 500 kHz to 2900 kHz!  Then, we can have 20 
kHz  channel spacing, and everything will be ok again, until they think of 
another way to screw it up.  Of course, the fact the the AM band, as a 
whole has been a losing proposition ever since FM took off won't even enter 
into the equation.

AM would fly in its own right if they just had a few stations there that 
provide high quality programming over a wide area, but the "pack the band 
full of the same old stuff" approach will fail whether it goes digital or 
not.  Just my opinion, but I think the FCC has done a first class job of 
spectrum mismanagement!
