WINS goes iboc When Did This Happen? (aircheck)

R.F. Burns said:
Oh and Bob, my family is not Scottish. My daughter went to school in Scotland for her masters. She passed with "distinction" which very few in the program did. The graduation ceremony will be held in a few weeks and my wife and I are traveling there to share the experience with her. We are very proud parents.

Thank you RF for a very rational and calming overview of the situation. You summed things up very well.

More importantly, congratulations to your daughter! You should be "proud parents."

I haven't been to Scotland in about five years, but I think you will enjoy the trip. There are some spectacular places to visit, and the Scottish people are quite friendly. I was in Ireland about a month and a half ago, and if it is any indication, be sure to take a wi-fi card for your laptop. It was everywhere in the Emerald Isle. In fact, their Internet connectivity makes the US look like somewhat of a third world nation. It was not at all unusual to get connection speeds in excess of 2 mbs, and that was pinging a server in Dallas, Texas. It was quite impressive.

Please have a great trip to Scotland.

Well, I'd bet that "RF Burns" is a nom de radio and a play on the nasty bite you get on the back of your hand when you're adjusting the ATU horn gap.

In any event enjoy your trip, and congratulations on your daughter's graduation. My daughter just graduated (undergrad) from Oberlin and she is going on for her master's. When our kids matriculate, SOME of us get to fly to Scotland.....others of us get Cleveland.....c'est la guerre.

I also thank you for your thoughtful comments about the future of the industry. I agree with much of what you wrote, with a few exceptions, but we can pursue the McLuhanesque aspects of radio's role in some future thread. In the meantime you've got packing to do.
 
Did a quick band scan tonight with my R-390A and the 160M dipole connected after talking with a guy from Albion ME on 3885 kc with the ol' DX-100, no phaser, WINS was dominant with KDKA completely trashed by WINS and WBZ's IBOC hash. I could hear it under the hash but in no way was it listenable (yes I know I'm beyond it's protected contour). WINS was by far the loudest of the three, almost local-like. 1040, 1020, and 1000 were trashed.
