[BC] Real cases of IBOC interference wanted for research purposes

Since the null of an AM DA is only at the carrier frequency, all bets are
off when you go 20 or so khz either side.  There is a very good chance that
the IBOC power is far greater in the null than it supposed to be.  The 770
station in Pt. Charlott/Ft Myers Fl, is a good example for me.  I'm in the
null of the DA, and can barely detect an analog signal, but the IBOC either
side is quite noticable here in Sarasota.

That would be real interesting if KXNT interferes with you, as KXNT has a
deep null your direction. and at about 370 miles that is a hike!
