[BC] My Wife & IBOC

[Kent Winrich, K9EZ]

OK Bill,

Perhaps I am missing your point. 

This is a BROADCAST reflector.  It seems like you have no interest in 
broadcast (which I wonder why you are a part of this reflector anyways, 
but I digress).  You even admit to not listening to radio since 1981 (!!).

What would you offer as s suggestion to making things better on 
BROADCAST?  Please don't tell me they should play music that you like as 
we would have 340 million different answers.  Perhaps that is too plain 
Kane for you, and there are people that will never be pleased by broadcast.

BTW you can get a HD Multicast radio for under $300 now.
