LMFAO! Expect the rest of he jammers and scammers to turn off IBOC -
they are all going under and can't even afford their electrical bills!

Hope it's true. What do you think Eduardo?

HD hardly uses any electrical. A sidelight on a tower uses more than most.

Citadel turned of HD on a couple of AMs which were interfering at night,
WABC an WJR.

False - 90% of IBOC power is dumped.

The insertion loss depends on the combiner system. In cases of FM, using
separate antennae, there is no insertion loss. It's still a small amount,
any way you look at it. Tower obstruction lighting or AC consumption is much
more.
