Here in Europe there are a few DRM stations which I presume are the 
equivalent of IBOC.

There is a *10kW* station in Germany on 1593 kHz  - *750 miles* from 
here - which wipes out 1590 - a frequency which used to be an 
interesting one.

Here is a brief clip of 1590 from earlier this evening. Goodness only 
knows what it will be like if something similar is repeated a couple of 
hundred times on the band in the US.

And I should add its coming on to the back of my ewe!
