There is no better proof that AM-IBOC is incompatible with regular AM
radios.


How would DRM (as tested on the shortwave bands) fare?


Well, there's an very interested website concerning this in New Zealand:
http://www.owdjim.gen.nz/chris/radio/DRM/DRM.html

Scroll down to the reception-results to "2003/06/02 03:50". There's an
audio-sample of a DRM signal and a AM signal.

But do note:
- The DRM signal was a signal from the BBC from the transmittor-site of
RCI of shackville; aimed at North America.
- The person who did the recording lives in New Zealand. (which is pretty
far of for a broadcast from Canada into North America).

- The AM broadcast came from Turkey; althou I don't know where it was
aimed. (apparently, according the scedule of the VOT; it was in Turkish;
so it could be directed anywhere).


So the question is of the person would -otherwize, if this would have been
two AM broadcasts, been able to receive anything anyway.


It's a bit difficult to compair local MW broadcasting with long-distance
SW.


Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
