I did not know that Mexican stations were using IBOC. I wonder how many are?

XEKAM 950 in Tijuana Mexico added
XEKAM and the former XEGM have always been listed in the local newspapers as
stations that serve the L.A. area (along with 690 in Tijuana and 1090 in

I am pretty sure that KDLG 670 Dillingham, Alaska is IBOC.
Around 2007 or so they put in a new 10,000 Watt transmitter that was
HD/IBOC capable. Why you ask? They got a trant and it had to be for an HD

603 REPUBLIC OF KOREA, Namyang, 1528 with weak signal with music. Sky wire
loop. 01/02/2014
The problem with FM IBOC is the power. It is currently 1% of analog. Some

Just replaced my aging Wellbrook ALA-1530 loop (which has been sitting
in storage for three years or more) with the newer ALA-1530+. It just
arrived safely from the UK, but I'm remembering that mounting this
antenna can be a challenge. It isn't really equipped with a mounting

Les,
I assumed that you may have had a mounting kit already for the ALA1530!
I will put one in the post on Monday Jan 6th.

Not quite correct...

loggings at this QTH (began the logbook here on Sept. 13, 2010) and finished

Best month was January, with 26 new stations heard. Least
