I would never publish this on a broadcasters' list, but I would love to
see a massive one night "cheat" to protest night IBOC.  All non-IBOC
stations stay on day power and pattern for one night to kill the
Hybrid-Digital IBAC Radio broadcasters.  (I say this tongue in cheek.
It's one of those "what if we all stopped paying our taxes for a year"
type things.  What are they going to do, fine everyone?)  It will never
happen, and as a broadcaster who does his best to follow the rules, I
would never partake.  But, it would bring enough chaos to the band to
get the point across. 

>>They are the outsiders here.

Not necessarily.  There are a lot of us broadcast engineers on the list
who are also avid Dxers.
