There is an ancient Chinese proverb: "Dog who chases tail inevitably eats self..."
This resonated with me this morning at dawn as I discovered an IBOC user reaping havoc on 1160 and 1180. The less than obvious irony is the fact that KEX Portland is one of America's 1st IBOCers - a mere 10 khz away from the mess that 1170 was kicking up. Additionally, 1180 faces the double-whack of being pummelled by IBOC from 1170 and 1190. My overall point is: Once stations like KSL Salt Lake City, Utah and KGO San Francisco on 810 start getting their nightwave signals trounced by the hash-trash, they will actually turn on each other if not themselves. Overall, IBOC is a foolish scenario entered into way too lightly... like a Las Vegas wedding. I predict that within a year there will be more finger pointing than another Anna Nicole-Smith paternity suit. Random google searches reveal an unusual and stimulating amalgam of non-DXer discussion...
