As part of the DX Radio Community 'we' may not like IBOC
{High Definition} "HD" AM Radio Broadcasting and the
resulting adjacent Channel Noise that it will create;
that will make AM Radio DXing [Distance AM Radio Listening]
very-very-hard-to-do or completely impossible.

For the Owner's of AM Radio Stations IBOC AM Radio is a
valid business decision with respect to 'their' Local
AM Radio Markets and the Local AM Radio Listeners
that 'they' hope to attract as Listeners.


Snip

I don't think that a business model that exchanges current listeners for
the "hope" of attracting new listeners that require them to buy new more
expensive radios is a good plan.

Once everyone is IBOC, the hash heard from any less than ideal location
will probably lead to XM sales. The destruction of the educational
portion of the FM band to religious scam artists is enough to make me
get XM just for travelling. One year's XM fee is like a tank and a half
of George Bush priced gasoline.
