The Hiss Is Off on WBBM AM 780!

Hiss has returned on WBBM 780, but still clean on WSCR 670.

Great system. ::)

And...it's LIKE a box of choclits...
You never know what you're gonna git.


WTMJ 620 Milw iboc is still on rev 2.1 !

That sparkly 90 khz thing KFUO St Louis was doing a few years ago was 1.09.3.75!
I think the WSCR 670 recent sparklies were 2.1.5.

I thought I heard a new HD station last night, but it was an air hose that blew off an impression cylinder on a
38 inch web press... Haw haw.
 
Why would they turn the hiss back on even after getting an FM signal? Who is going to listen to the AM signal in HD when there is an FM signal. I imagine the analog AM signal covers a larger daytime radius than the FM, but not in HD. I guess I can goodbye yet again to the clear signal of WTNY outside of the city at night.

And the signal over Houston at night is very much degraded. Back to weak with a lot of Spanish chatter in the background. In Chicago - I bet their penetration into buildings is a whole lot worse.

Follow up - after a couple of weeks of monitoring, the signal remains severely weakened. So there is no doubt in my mind that HD radio has a big impact on coverage - at a time when they care about penetrating buildings
