Great comments!
OK, so the reason an AM station would go IBOC is for the audio
quality. KEX 1190 (now IBOC) used to have fantastic analog quality the
rivaled FM back in the 60s/70s. I don't know how good their frequency
responce was, but it was darn good. So with great quality like

The audible difference is difficult to tell, but the whooping is

restart it, head to Villa d'Baggie and report back to fido.
Nobody told Virgin Radio about the more active geomagnetic
conditions. Although no audio yet, the carrier has been building in
strength from near imaginary wisps to quite strong over the last hour
(0440UT now). No other carriers noted though. (738 is definitely Tahiti)
