[BC] WBIX ... and the market

[Robert Meuser]

Phil:

I am not sure you are correct. So far I have not had much success 
receiving digital on AM unless both digital sidebands are in the clear. 
I know it is not supposed to work that way but it seems to be the case. 
So if WBIX is taking out a digital sideband with their analog, that new 
digital radio might blend to buzz.
