Say goodbye to night DXing on the AM-BC band. Many of the 50kW clears are
transmitting IBOC during
day hours now. The digital 'splatter' covers 20KHz on either side of the
main frequency. This will
happen at night soon. Forget about listening to 830 AM and 850 AM at
night, both 50 KW clears. WCCO
is using IBOC, not sure of KOA. This and power companies tagging data on
their lines doesn't look
good for a once, fun, and inexpensive hobby.

I knew the FCC had approved HD Radio for night time use on AM, but I didn't
catch when it would start.
Anyone know?
