kenglish, maybe we haven't gotten HD taken down entirely by "bitching on this forum." But I hope we've dissuaded uninformed managers and owners who were on the fence, and perhaps used the power of logic and persuasion to get those saddled with IBOC to turn it off. These are all good things.
As far as WYSL goes, our frequency change in 1997 had nothing to do with WBZ, at least not in any direct sense. WYSL signed on as a 500 watt daytimer co-channel with WBZ in 1987, increasing to 1kw ten months after sign-on. We went DA-2 and moved to 1040 ten years later because nighttime service was impossible on 1030. And that served us and our region just fine until nighttime IBOC was deployed in September 2007, and WBZ's upper digital sideband started clobbering us.
