[BC] Dealing with IBOC hash problems

[Robert Meuser]

Scott

Can you define this any better?  Do you mean you are loosing bonus coverage you 
had outside the .5 mv/m contour? Or do you mean there is interference inside 
your protected contour? If the latter, have you adequately documented this? Do 
you have field strength measurements?  Have you communicated directly with WLAC? 
I know both the regional director of engineering and the VP of engineering are 
very interested in insuring they do things 'right'. Also, if you have the 
documentation and measurements how do you know the FCC won't do anything, have 
you contacted them?
