Well Folks,
I see that WABC, WOR and WFAN 770, 710 and 660 are broadcasting IBOC at ?
7:30PM tonight. I like to BCB DX and I have found that nulling out the ?
IBOC sidebands is easy to do since they are weaker than the main signal.


Using my GE Superradio II I just turn the receiver to a null and perfect ?
copy +- 10khz. I am very close to New York City and the NJ Meadowlands ?
where the signals all originate and it is not too hard to get a null. As ?
signals pickup later into the evening from the skippers I have good copy.


Now for my formal DX setup using the Horizontal pennant antenna with the ?
DC null adjuster pointed towards New York I can very easily create deep ?
nulls on the IBOC sidebands both plus and minus. So for home listening and ?
DXing IBOC really does not seem to be a problem at night for me. For the ?
avid DX'er just build a pennant antenna or get a directional loop.


Driving cross country at night still has to be tried and I suspect that ?
may be a little trickier. I suggest giving it a try to see that the IBOC ?
signals do in fact null without to much difficulty.
