I agree although they will be able to find the analog stations and shut them down. they'll be about as successful at that as they are at shutting down pirate stations.

BTW - I work in radio news - I did a story in the fall about the federal government investing A LOT of money in a new TUBE BASED, HI POWER analog transceiver.

Speculation was that it's being built as a backup in case a nuke blast or solar event knocked out the digital systems. I don't have a link to the source now but it was an interesting read for radio folks.

I’d be very interested to read that if you can find the source.
