Not to mention I almost had to laugh at the stink about WDMV "trying"
to serve Washington DC with their secondary contour. When this is
some ****-powered thing located in some suburb between Baltimore and
Washington.

Show me how a receiver tuned to a local station IN its primary
service contour is being crippled by IBOC.


How about a station screwing itself up? KOGO 600 sounds like crap with
the sync detector set to either USB or LSB.

IBOC cripples plenty of distant stations.


What part of "you are outside the station's coverage range" do you not
understand?


What part of "the nut doesn't fall to far from the tree" do you not understand?

Run along, remittance man.

I think I mentioned 1150 in Los Angeles being messed up by 1160 in
Utah.

The FCC protects signals from interference in an area where they can be
usefully heard and then, a bit more. You are way outside the KOGO protected
signal area.

KNX will do the same thing right under their tower (or in a slightly
mistuned/misaligned receiver anywhere). You have to mix the digital
sidebands together to cancel them out.
