[BC] Rich Wood, you weren't there for those discussions

[Dana Puopolo]

Edwin.

I respectfully disagree with you. IBOC is a DESTRUCTIVE medium that affects a
station's neighbors more then that station itself. YOU now support making that
destruction even worse! IBOC represents the worst that JUNK SCIENCE has to
offer! IBOC has been roundly cast aside by the consumer. It has had YEARS to
happen and it has NOT happened. It's time to put this DOG to sleep, Edwin!

If IBOC continues, we will have MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION on both radio
bands! If you don't know what that means, Google it!

Now, as far as your RUDE comments to Rich-I have known Rich Wood since 1973.
He knows more about radio in his little toe theh you and I know in our entire
bodies-COMBINED!!!

You should apologize.

-D

and a request to Barry to please remove this idiot
 
Since my involvement in this digital business goes back to 1991, I can speak. 
The published power level expectations for digital facilities go back to at
least 1998.  No manufactuer can claim any ignorance of the -10dBc future.  The
-20dBc level has been sort of a holy grail for the IBOC approach in the
interest of maintaining the capture ratio as a method to reduce interference
between analog and digital.  However, going back to at least 2001, it has been
no secret that the digital carrier power would have to come up to -10dB for
full pattern replication.
