Now if we could only get a few AM stations to re-activate their C-Quam
Stereo (WBZ, WSNR, WCRN - we know you have the equipment). We are down
to three AM Stereo Stations: WILD, WJIB and 1360 (don't know the calls -
this one converted to stereo in the last year). My Ford Radio can do
C-Quam AM Stereo as well (not IBOC though).


Not to launch another AM Stereo flame war but...

I've noticed that WPGC (1580 AM) runs with C-Quam during their daytime
50Kw authorization, but then drops the C-Quam when they lower power (to
270 watts!) and change their pattern at night.

I live within 10 miles of their plant (but still inside the pattern), so
I'm not entire certain that they actually turn off the C-Quam or if the
signal is merely so poor that C-quam just isn't possible.

What would be the advantages of disabling C-Quam during protected hours?

Thanks,
