What's going on? Why it's simply more QRM generated by David Eduardo and
Friends.

What is IBOC?

In Band OFF Channel. Otherwise known as HD Radio. It's technically called In
Band On Channel, but the real problem is that it ISN'T on channel, but takes
up channels on either side of the center carrier. These sidebands destroy
reception of adjacent channel stations. Some here say that these stations
are not important, as they are not in the same market, and anyone who
listens to them doesn't count, as they must be listening to those out of
market signals and are not protected.

Thanks. I knew that hash noise was HD Radio, but didn't know the
official acronym for this was IBOC.

I'm inclined to agree with the AM Broadcast Band DXers, it sux.
However it's the future of AM broadcasting and broadcasting in
general. So who are we to say we can continue to enjoy our hobby?
Now we can hear crappy programming on AM radio in near CD quality. I
can't wait to spend $200 + for a trashy tiny table radio just to hear
it all, LOL.

I find one amuzing thing though. I'm able to null out the adjacent
channel noise with a decent rotatable antenna. It pays to have a good
receiver and antenna to combat the hash.
