Having mentioned this to WOR's engineers numerous times, their claim
is that according to the modulation monitor and spectrum analyzer at
their transmitter site, WOR's radiated signal (with IBOC in use) falls
within the NRSC radiated emission limits, and therefore is "legal" --
end of story. They have refused to conduct any field measurements
that might support or dispute my claims, other than "it sounds fine on
my car radio". In fact, WOR's engineers have even threatened legal
action against me, because of my claims that WOR is operating
"illegally". Needless to say, this has resulted in a breakdown in
communication between them and I. I have chosen not to discuss this
issue with WOR's engineers any longer, because nothing was being
accomplished.
Sadly, they are probably right. Write a letter to your local FCC
field bureau and let them know what you've heard and what you've been
through.
My bet is that the FCC will send someone out with a spectrum analyzer to
look at the spectral envelope, and it'll be totally legal. It is pretty
depressing to see what is legal.
The FCC pretty much only responds to letters, but they do actually respond
to letters.
