And, as I might add, turn it off during the day as well as there are quite a 
few instances of stations getting their coverage area reduced by IBOC during 
the day, especially in areas around water or with good ground conductivity.

73 KAZ remaining amazed that this crap with strong carriers at +/- 14 KHz 
was ever allowed

"Freelance" means "I don't have a permanent job" or "I'm being ripped off by 
greedy employers."

The one thing he fails to mention is that AM IBOC does not work.

HD radios are expensive and insensitive.

The system equates to legalized jamming painfully destructive to smaller 
stations.

The larger stations lose all their skywave coverage.

We have all been over this a thousand times by now.

Just turn it off! It works much better that way.
