Re: [IRCA] article on IBOC

Indeed interesting, and one I also hadn't seen. The results aren't surprising at all. The IBOC hash travels much farther than the actual digital channels in most cases, and the solid readable signals from digital AM simply don't travel very far at night using consumer equipment to receive. The number of stations dropping digital AM altogether
is also a result of economics as some stations can't justify the added expense of licensing fees and equipment repairs, because as the one station noted, nobody complained about dropping it, likely because nobody noticed it in the first place due to the scarcity of affordable receivers.

The latest "Medium Wave News" bulletin from the Medium Wave Circle in 
Britain, references an article that I hadn't seen before concerning 
IBOC, and the use of night-time IBOC in particular:
