Someone wanted info on IBOC stations a while back. I checked the Alaskans
while here in Masset and could find none still using. Far less now than in
past DXpeditions here, which is great. I'm only hearing a couple of lower
48 stations causing a nuisance now. Can someone post a list of Alaskan

XEKAM 950 in Tijuana Mexico added IBOC sometime in the past year.

I notice that as I tried to find Absolute Radio and the message came back that
it no longer was available outside of Europe. Funny, as even a lot of small

And would I be correct to assume there has been no new adaptor of AM IBOC in
say 3 or 4 years? If so, I'll round this off and say half of the IBOC soldiers

Someone recently brought to my attention this new book about the trials
and tribulations of attempting to transition radio broadcasting to
digital. Most of the book deals with IBOC in the US, but DAB in other
