can. More and more ``clear`` channel stations have been testing it in the
daytime, and once they all start running it at night, large portions of the AM
band will be devoted to noise (Glenn Hauser, July 9, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thanks to 'Eduardo' and all the other beancounting dip****s out there!

- Agree.. ANY way of filtering this out ?

When the IBOC sidebands extend out into the signal you want to hear,
not really possible to "filter" without getting rid of the signal you
want.

Listening to the sideband with the least interference (e.g. the one
away from the IBOC station) helps some.

Some use of directional antennas (especially ones with deep nulls, e.g.
loops) has been succesful at my QTH.
