My world? Real world? Dana, I truly do not understand where all of this is 
coming from. Short spacing is thread drift, and has nothing to do with my 
point.

My point is, the FCC does not give a rip about interference beyond the 
50:50 contour. I MIGHT have a prayer of getting help with an interference 
problem from IBOC within my 50:50, maybe. 

The more IBOC signal we spit out, the more analog coverage we will lose as 
our next-channel neighbors increase their digital power. 

Does this make sense?
