Keep in mind that the spectral density of an IBOC signal is very different 
from that of an analog signal. Barry, Chuck or Dan Strassberg could all 
explain it in far more detail than I can (unlike them, I'm most definitely 
NOT an engineer), but the energy in the IBOC signal is spread much more 
evenly across the spectrum, and it varies in level much less than an analog 
signal does. The effect is a signal that appears much louder and more 
annoying on an analog receiver than a corresponding analog signal would.
