You have no credibility in the news group. A well known Troll is all
that you are. Your own posts O' crap have marginalized you and since
you
have proven you are full of BS beyond a reasonable doubt, nobody cares
what you post.

Credibility is determined by stating the facts, whether these be popular
or
not.

< Snip >

You skipped a few steps.

1. First you have to have a grip on reality in order to ascertain the
facts. You desperately need to get a grip.

The reality of today's AM and FM broadcasting is something I in a firm grasp
of, or I would not be invited to participate as an expert in seminars for
organizations ranging from Arbitron to the NAB to Billboard and R&R
Magazines both in the US and abroad.

The "problem" is that AM DXers who, as a group, supported and learned about
radio a few decades ago, now are antagonistic to the very stations they wish
to hear, and refute nearly all the facts... economic and programming...
about how radio works today.

2. Then you determine what is relevant. You don't seem to have that
ability.

I think it is "relevant" to try to explain to DXers that MW stations are
changing out of a distant hope that some life can be breathed back into AM
by things such as HD.

For example, unless DXers understand why most AM stations run the same
overnight programming on 600 stations (Noory and the alien crowd) they will
continue to criticize radio when the answer is so simple: AMs don't make
money at night... it's a setup for the 6-10 AM show, not a revenue producer.
In fact, stations pay for Coast to Coast with daytime spots... even the
syndicator does not want nightime AM spots.

It's never as simple as it seems, and DXers, who have become rude and even
demeaning towards stations, should have information on what is happening
today in radio so that they will understand why stations do what they do.

3. Then if you are going to communicate your thinking on the subject you
have to consider your audience. You either can't or won't do this either.

As I say above, many DXers do not understand what is going on in radio
today... how most listening is now on FM, and most AM listening is by older
listeners and in daytime hours. An understanding of the way stations have to
operate is of considerable use to open-minded DXers... such material used to
be a regular part of DX News, the IRCA's DX Monitor and even the MW section
of the NNRC; today, you have to go to the Medium Wave Circle's e-bulletin to
get this type of insight into the operation of stations... those that still
remain... on AM

You are a waste of time to read in this news group.

Obviously, you have no interest in how radio stations get on the air, just
whether you can make notches in your "rifle" by picking up distant and
esoteric catches. That's like bird watching just ot get the highest number
of birds seen, as opposed to knowing why birds migrate, where they go and
come from, and what they feed on along the way. It marks you as vain and
superficial.

Based on your posting behavior I'm sure knowing you would not be a
pleasure.

To someone like you, who buys a $5 k receiver and says "KOGO has a
listenable signal in Ventura County" without realizing how listeners, not
DXers, listen, I am sure that is a fact. I would likely despise you based on
the attitudes you have shown here... mostly a total lack of understanding of
how average Americans listen to the radio.
