Southern California Cities Invest in AM’s TIS? RW rip...

https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/products/southern-california-cities-invest-in-ams-tis   Yeah??? I'd still like to see an LPAM System, to rival the current LPFM system. Still, this shows that someone still believes that AM Radio have viability.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Hey Thadood,

MA "supposedly" has around 25 "TIS" or "SAFE" stations "on air". I am not not sure how old that list or how accurate it is either.
I vaguely recall cruising around the state and seeing signs  still up for stations that weren't on air  ( for  whatever reasons).

Not sure if some of these were "on demand" ,  ie if no big traffic jam or other emergency = off air.

TIS were fun to Dx .You KNOW conditions were good if you could hear them.
