There is a Class D AM station I know of in the Plains states which in the
neighborhood of 1KW During the Day and has a power in the 20 Watt range at
night somewhat just to the left of what you'd consider mid dial, but not low
dial.

They are 350 miles from a Class A 50KW Non Directional Clear. This 50KW
Clear is 20Khz away from this Class D AM I'm referring to and the 50KW clear
runs IBOC at night now.

The station owner told me he can hear noticeable IBOC hiss and crap
interfering with thier night signal.

(Names, call letters specific locaiton left out on purpose as to not make it
appear Im singling any one person or station out)

I'd like to have someone tlel me IBOC isn'ta problem and works just fine..
and I'm sure those who are 'drinking the IBOC' koolaid will tell me I'm
smoking something.

Paul
