[IRCA] IBOC/analog reception comparisons.



A few days ago there was a discussion of IBOC vs analog signal strengths 
and reception range. At the time I mentioned I had seen from spectrum 
scans I ran, a significant difference in IBOC sideband strength with 
antennas of varying gain, as compared to the analog component of the 
hybrid broadcast signal.

Not to restart that discussion, I just want to say that since then, I 
have produced some composite spectrum scans of stations operating in 
IBOC mode as received using different gain antennas.  I have placed 
these on a web page which shows the phenomenon to which I was 
referring.  This is strictly a graphic representation, not a technical 
analysis, intended simply to illustrate my previous remarks.

For anyone interested, you can see this comparison page here:

Florida AM IBOC Status page has been enhanced somewhat and is here:

Comments and/or questions are welcome.
