    Yeah, I hear you, Harvey.

How things have changed in the last 15 to 20 years, eh?

Well, you're right, of course but if there is a positive side it is that =
there isn't much worth DX-ing anyway because they all do repeat =
programming or satellite programming at night anyway or they throw it on =
computer.

  And do you want to know what really bugs me more than anything?

  I am now living out here in Colorado, about 20 miles or so northwest =
of=20
  Denver. ...  Just about all of the AM stations here are digital, which =
means=20
  that, on about 20 or 30 khz on either side of them, you get this =
really=20
  anoying hash, unless there is a strong station in between that cuts it =
out.

  Even at night, although some of them do switch to analog, a m dxing =
is, for=20
  most practical purposes, a lost cause.

  I guess they call it progress, but, when it comes to the AM broadcast =
band,=20
  I'm not so sure of that.

  That's all right, Tom.  We all have senior moments.  Personally, I =3D
  didn't think the THF6-A. picked up TV stations very well even when we =
=3D
  had analog channels.  But as we all know, this digital switch has =
never =3D
  been thought out well and has been a debacle since day one because of =
=3D
  that.
