[SBE] I wish everyone luck tonight

[Edwin Bukont]

Very true Larry.  Klotz certainly gave the US audio console industry a needed kick in the pants.  You may know how XM approached their purchasing decisions during initial construction and thus formed the "UN" of broadcast purchasing because they chose many products not made here.  It is interesting to see which countries are looking at HD Radio either for their first foray into digital radio or to replace what they already have.  And yet we seem stalled here.  Troubling how far behind we really are.  What we are calling broadband is considered standard in many other countries.

Please don't take offense, but many of us here in the US tend to forget that there are many places around the world besides us and many of those places, including South America, in many cases are further along implementing newer technology than we are. I know this hasn't always been the case, but you would be very surprised at some of the technical innovations I've seen from South America, Europe and yes, even the middle east (Israel and some of the not so radical Moslem countries). I get press releases from several large manufacturers who are delivering equipment that many of us only dream about having.

have to convert translators to digital then they will slowly be sold to
South America or something ... I have no clue really ... I'll cross that one
when I get there I guess.

I'm not a TV guy (I'm radio), but I'm wondering: what's gonna happen to
all those old analog transmitters? Is there a market for them, or are
they just gonna become giant boat anchors?  :)
