It obliterates the adjacents, as if the purpose isn't to improve a
signal so much as it is to force you to listen to your locals.
I think this is a plus that stations running IBOC found out, fill the
dial with wall to wall local noise, then few if any out of town stations
can be heard in the DMA.

Could it be WIGN Bristol, TN? THey are 35KW Day and 5W night, and I know

Even with doubling their power from 500W to 1 KW the difference in their

Sure AM IBOC is a terror. No doubt about that. I can sometimes hear it

During daytime hours, there was no problem. The Soquel station should

This afternoon, I decided to check 1110 on the car radio at 2 pm. KBND
was doing quite well on day skip, strong enough to have the radio's scan
function stop there. There was a weak music station in the background,
which I assume was KWDB. For the record, I was 40 miles from KWDB and
300
For a change I can concur with both Nick and Bill in that this morning
was one of the better mornings of late. The Japanese on 693, 747, 774,
and 828 were all doing pretty well, with 594 audible, but not quite as
good.I had to leave for work well before sunrise, so I may have
missed
Bruce,
It is the opposite here, KBND at 150 air miles, is the dominant one,
unless I am using the NE/NW EWEs. KBND is not generally super strong,
but much stronger than KWBD. But KWBD is 200+ miles too, and only 500w,
compared to KBND's 10 KW. I like KWBD better, format-wise.

Yes, KEX's IBOC is terrible, but the worst at night here is KSL, hands
down. between 1160 1190, often, it wipes out the 1170-1180 area
easily, depending on cx. Sometimes, the frequencies are decent too.
