Frank:

    I am glad to see that you at least admit the possibility that this 
technology may not work. I think the issue is when do we determine 
enough is enough if it is not working. The problem with making effort to 
make it work is that it may cause damage to what is already there.

    In order to find out if this will work or not, it should be treated 
as an experimental technology.  I see too many people thinking that it 
is going to happen no matter what. One thing that has not been 
adequately tested is nighttime operation and its effects.  That needs to 
be done first before we decide this is what needs to be done.

    Perhaps the IBOC nay-sayers are seeing something that some others 
don't see.
