Re: [IRCA] AM vs MW-IBOC range differences

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Scott,

It matters? I am thinking of Upper Volta or Elsa Yukon, maybe the South
Pole, as long as Pengins don't adopt IBOC "Penguin BOC". Seriously, I
don't see how AM DXing can continue at most locales if this is adopted
24/7. The hash from KEX near LSS is terrible as you cannot phase it.
During the day with no skip, KLAY 1180 is quite listenable with KEX
phased down below S5. The only saving grace is that the closer you get
to sunset, the strong the stations are on 1180 & 1200, so they overpower
the IBOC hash. But hearing the weak flea power station will be out of
the question. Just hope this is not odopted by many stations. The future
might be coastal locations with beverage antennas only.

73,

Patrick
