IMHO.


I think the only AM's that should be allowed to run IBOC should be
limited to a nite time power limit of 1000 watts or less!
No way should a 50,000 watt AM be allowed to run IBOC at night.


1000 watts goes coast to coast. You just don't notice it because
there's a thousand other 1000 watt stations on at the same time, and
you're hearing them all at once.


It would only go coast to coast in very good conditions. Conditions
vary a lot. Even 50K channels are not heard consistantly.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.


10 or 20 or 40 or more 1000 Watt AM/MW Radio Stations
all on the same Frequency at Night Broadcasting in IBOC
from Coast-to-Coast - OH THE DIGITAL HASH !

Add in the Upper and Lower Adjacent Channels and
Every One of their IBOC Broadcasters
NOW YOU HAVE MEGA DIGITAL HASH NOISE
UP AND DOWN THE AM/MW RADIO BAND !
