Re: [IRCA] Radio's Digital Dilemma

Someone wanted info on IBOC stations a while back.  I checked the Alaskans
while here in Masset and could find none still using.  Far less now than in
past DXpeditions here, which is great.  I'm only hearing a couple of lower
48 stations causing a nuisance now.  Can someone post a list of Alaskan
IBOCers for me.  My list is from 2011-2012.  73,  Walt
