Because the
frequency doesn't have too many stations on it.

I hope the expanded band (above 1600)
doesn't get clobbered with those fat-assed IBOCs
and we can still have some DXing fun up there.

I can't think of a single successful x-band station... they all seem to be
sold over and over, moved around the country or being victims of format
shifts quite frequently.

Argentina was smart... they allowed multiple X-band stations on each channel
in the immense Buenos Aires metro, and that is where the religious
broadcasters and the ethnic broadcasters (there is a station just for
Bolivians) have gone.

Several of these have been heard in the USA, before the domestic X Banders
were all built out.
