[BC] IBUZ in the nulls (Was: Absorbtion by Foliage)

[Stu Engelke]

There has been a lot of talk (by me included) that IBOC is not the 
answer for AM. Especially if we can't do it at night. I'm wondering what 
-is- the answer for AM? In my mind one of the bells and whistles we need 
to be cool is a way to put data on the radio display.
