Since IBUZ begins where the normal sidebands end, it will be even more 
pronounced by the fact that it's frequencies are that much more removed from 
carrier. (Let alone the fact that the reference -the carrier- is many db lower.) I 
don't see any way to make this thing work properly at all azimuths in a DA. It 
may be possible on paper, but not a chance in the real world.

To those of us who love (and live by) AM, this is very good news! Seeing and 
hearing those two 1mv/m hash signals above and below WOR is proof enough for 
me that IBUZ is not the answer for AM.
