STIX HIX NIX IBOC

Well, I have news. They were lying through their teeth. WCCO 830 Minneapolis took out 820 and 840, 700 WLW Cincinatti took out 690 Montreal and 710, 1180 WHAM took out 1170 and 1190, and 1110 took out 1100 and 1120. These were identified before morning fade-out. From the theory stuff I read off the web, the worst IBOC interference should be on the station 20 kHz away, as the sideband(s) for the primary digital channel are on 15-25 kHz (on both sides) from the carrier. Unless the IBOC station had reduced their analog bandwidth and were using the second channel (which runs from 5-15 kHz, both sides).

All I know is trying to listen to weak station the next channel over (10KHz) either way is impossible. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

But what are you hearing on that weak station? Certainly nothing that I
do not know already.I gave up dxining years ago.I only dx them crazy wimmins all over (via the enternets) the World nowdays.I am doin better than you are. cuhulin |

I don't doubt it, but I don't try to daytime DX near IBOC stations. Mark's information is consistant with my observations from the early days of IBOC, when IBOC was commonly used at night and there was a hole between the AM channel and each of the IBOC sidebands in which a first adjacent might punch through the interference.
